Another release has been uploaded to CPAN with quite a few
enhancements from Ville, and then some HTTP::Headers hacks by me.
These are the changes since 5.78:
HTML::Form now exposes the 'readonly' and 'disabled'
attribute for inputs. This allow your program to simulate
JavaScript code that modifies these attributes.
RFC 2616 says that http: referer should not be sent with
https: requests. The lwp-rget program, the $req->referer method
and the redirect handling code now try to enforce this.
Patch by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@xxxxxx>.
WWW::RobotRules now look for the string found in
robots.txt as a case insensitive substring from its own
User-Agent string, not the other way around.
Patch by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@xxxxxx>.
HTTP::Headers: New method 'header_field_names' that
return a list names as suggested by its name.
HTTP::Headers: $h->remove_content_headers will now
also remove the headers "Allow", "Expires" and
"Last-Modified". These are also part of the set
that RFC 2616 denote as Entity Header Fields.
HTTP::Headers: $h->content_type is now more careful
in removing embedded space in the returned value.
It also now returns all the parameters as the second
return value as documented.
HTTP::Headers: $h->header() now croaks. It used to
silently do nothing.
HTTP::Headers: Documentation tweaks. Documented a
few bugs discovered during testing.
Typo fixes to the documentation all over the place
by Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@xxxxxx>.
Updated tests.
and since 5.78 was not really announced these are the changes applied
to 5.77 to make it 5.78:
Removed stray Data::Dump reference from test suite.
Added the parse(), clear(), parts() and add_part() methods to
HTTP::Message. The HTTP::MessageParts module of 5.77 is no more.
Added clear() and remove_content_headers() methods to
HTTP::Headers.
The as_string() method of HTTP::Message now appends a newline
if called without arguments and the non-empty content does
not end with a newline. This ensures better compatibility with
5.76 and older versions of libwww-perl.
Use case insensitive lookup of hostname in $ua->credentials.

Enjoy!
