Subject: [ruby-talk:7607] net/http,smtp,pop 1.2 pre 1

Hi all,

net/http,smtp,pop version 1.2 pre1 is released.
I check in these after ruby 1.7 branch is started.
Any bug report/proposal is welcome.

  http://www1.u-netsurf.ne.jp/~brew/mine/soft/net-1.2.0-pre1.tar.gz
  (..../soft/index.html is the index.)

Changes:

  * HTTP#get,head,post does not raise ProtocolError
  * HTTP#get,head,post return only HTTPResponse object;
    Entity body is got by response.body
  * Request object. HTTP#new_get,new_head,new_post creates this
  * POP3#delete_all, POP3.delete_all, POP3.foreach
 (*) no changes in HTTP#get2,head2,post2
 (*) no changes in smtp.rb

Usage of new_* is below.

  HTTP.start( host ) do |http|
    http.new_get( '/index.html' ) do |request|
      request['user-agent'] = 'My Getter 1.0'
      p request['allow']

      response = request.dispatch
      puts response.code             # 200
      puts response['content-type']  # text/html
      puts response.read_body        # <html><head><tit...

      response.body    # same to read_body()
    end

    http.new_post( '/cgi-bin/killercgi.rb' ) do |request|
      response = request.dispatch {|f|
        f.write str
        f.write str
      }
      response.read_body
    end
  end


P.S.
For backward compatibility, HTTP::old_implementation method can
be used. After calling this method Net::HTTP object behaves as
it is version 1.1's.
