This isn't really in proper GNU ChangeLog format, it just happens to
look that way.
2008-12-03 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.10 release:
* Fix bug that caused some newlines to be erroneously
stripped from form data (Gary Poster)
* Fix for missing closing tags: When there was no closing body tag
or closing form tag, the final opening form element on a page
would not cause a form object to be returned from ParseFileEx
&c. (Bradley Murray)
* Use Title-Case in MIME headers in form data
* FileControl fixes for no-files and no-filename cases.
2008-07-19 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.9 release:
* Fix "import *" in case where BeautifulSoup 2 is not
available (thanks Marius Gedminas for patch)
2008-06-29 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.8 release:
* Don't eagerly close label when the element for that label is
seen, since there may be more label text to follow (thanks
Marius Gedminas for patch)
2007-05-24 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.7 release:
* Fix ParseError affecting global SELECT and TEXTAREA controls
* Fix entity ref double-decoding bug (thanks David Moews and
Bayle Shanks).
* Don't merge multiple SELECT controls with the same name.
* Fix bad use of module warnings.
* Add an __all__ attribute.
* Fix source file line endings in SVN (svn:eol-style native).
2007-01-07 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.6 release:
* Don't allow underlying parser errors (e.g. SGMLParseError)
through -- always raise ClientForm.ParseError . To preserve.
However, any code that distinguishes between
ClientForm.ParseError and these other exceptions will break.
* Allow controls to appear outside of forms (the HTML spec allows
this). This involved adding new functions ParseFileEx and
ParseResponseEx, which return a list that's always one longer
than the return value of their counterparts ParseFile and
ParseResponse. The new first element in the list of forms is an
HTMLForm representing the collection of all forms that lie
outside of any FORM element.
2006-10-24 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.5 release:
* Fix fragment bug introduced in 0.2.4 (thanks Dave Marble). This
only caused a bug when used with mechanize: it does not affect
users using ClientForm without mechanize.
2006-10-14 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.4 release:
* Support for mechanize 0.1.4b.
2006-10-12 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.3 release:
* Fix entity reference / character reference handling for
Python 2.5 .
* Nameless list controls are now never successful.
* List controls used to get inappropriately .merge_control()ed
with other controls, or parsing would raise AmbiguityError.
That's fixed now.
* Handle line endings in element content the same way browsers do
(strip exactly one leading linebreaks, if any leading linebreaks
are present) (patch from Benji York).
* Convert TEXTAREA content to DOS line ending convention, again
following the major browsers.
* Allow mechanize to supply URL join / parse / unparse functions,
to allow mechanize to follow RFC 3986, thus fixing some URL
processing bugs. ClientForm should do the same; probably I
should merge the two projects after final mechanize release.
* Doc fixes.
2006-03-22 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.2.2 release:
* Stop trying to record precise dates in changelog, since that's
silly ;-)
* Fixes to setup.py &c.
* Follow IE and Firefox on algorithm for choosing MIME boundary --
servers are buggy on this.
* Fix POST multipart/form-data parameter ordering (patch from
Balazs Ree) and ImageControl ordering.
* Fix .fixup() of disabled select with no selected options (John
Wayne).
* Encoding fixes.
* Add BeautifulSoup support (not yet well tested).
* Switch from htmllib to sgmllib.
* Add form name to str(HTMLForm).
* Make parser debugging a bit easier.
2005-11-19 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixes to setuptools support.
* Released 0.2.1b.
2005-10-30 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fix redirection of content-type header (Titus Brown).
* Fix ordering of interspersed list controls (Balazs Ree).
2005-10-28 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Implement HTMLForm.__contains__, since it's odd that
'form[blah]' works but 'blah in form' did not.
2005-10-11 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.2.0a.
2005-10-09 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Many improvements have been made as part of 0.2 release,
thanks largely to Gary Poster, Benji York and their employer
Zope Corporation. These include:
* 0.1 backwards compatibility mode (backwards_compat switch).
* The example script on the web page / README.html is now an
executable script in the examples directory, that runs against a
test page on the wwwsearch.sourceforge.net site.
* Greatly improved support for labels, including control labels.
* Label matching is now by substring, not by exact string
equality.
* Support for list item ids.
* Finding controls or items now raises AmbiguityError if no nr
argument is supplied and the other arguments do not uniquely
identify the control or item. The old behaviour is restored by
passing nr=0.
* Fix multiple identical list item behaviour.
* Fixed a bug where disabled list items were successful (got sent
back to the server).
* More intuitive disabled list item behaviour.
* Added first-class support for list items and labels.
* Large sections of the module have been reimplemented using
classes Item and Label, making for better code.
* Added ListControl.get(), ListControl.get_items(),
HTMLForm.set_value_by_label(), and HTMLForm.get_value_by_label()
methods.
* The following ListControl methods have been deprecated:
possible_items
get_item_attrs
set_item_disabled
get_item_disabled
set_single
toggle_single
set
toggle
* The following HTMLForm methods have been deprecated:
possible_items
set_single
toggle_single
set
toggle
* The by_label argument of the following methods has been
deprecated.
get_value
set_value
* Added support for setuptools / EasyInstall / Python Eggs.
2005-05-20 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fix failure to honour request_class.
2005-05-08 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fix bug where form action not HTML-unescaped (thanks to Tomasz
Malesinski for bug report). Make entitydefs more sane. Expose
entitydefs in ParseFile / ParseResponse functions.
2005-04-17 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* By default, treat unrecognized controls like input type="text".
2005-02-23 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Applied patch from Titus Brown to add .clear() method to all
Controls.
2005-01-30 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fix failure to raise ParseError (!)
* Workaround for failure of sgmllib to unescape attributes (bug
report from Titus Brown).
* Released 0.1.17.
2005-01-17 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed case where FORM action contains a '?' or '#' (again).
* Allow user to supply own Request class (Tobias).
* Fix ISINDEX action URL (bug only showed up in Python 2.4).
* Fix image control in case where value is present.
* Hack choose_boundary not to fail on socket.gaierror.
2004-05-15 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.1.16 and 0.0.16.
* 0.1.x and 0.0.x:
* Fixed case where FORM action contains a '?' (bug report from
Moof).
* 0.1.x only:
* Look for BASE element attribute 'href', not 'uri'! (patch from
Jochen Knuth)
* Applied workaround for file upload for AOLServer (patch from
Andrei Mitran).
* Added optional form_parser_class arguments to allow choice
between htmllib and HTMLParser modules.
* Added a SelectControl._delete_items() method, useful for quick-
hack JS simulation. Not yet a stable interface, hence the
initial underscore.
* 0.0.x only:
* SubmitControls with no initial value in HTML are now successful
(default value is '', not None)
2004-01-22 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.x only:
* Cleaned up docs a bit, and removed references to toggle methods.
2004-01-05 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.x only:
* Take note of base element. Thanks to Phillip J. Eby for bug
report.
* All form attributes are now available in HTMLForm.attrs
(previously, name, action, method and enctype were not present).
* Released 0.1.15.
2004-01-01 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.x only: Disovered ignore_errors was ignored by
ParseResponse! It seems nobody uses it from ParseResponse, and
it's probably worthless anyway. Also, I just now realise that
FormParser.error() is actually overriding a base class method
without my noticing it! The arguments are still there, but
they're now ignored. Thanks to Per Cederqvist.
2003-12-24 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Modified setup.py so can easily register with PyPI.
2003-12-06 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed bug where ClientForm.urlencode choked on Unicode.
* Released 0.1.14 and 0.0.15.
2003-11-14 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* A few doc fixes in HTMLForm.__doc__.
* Minor code clean-up.
2003-11-12 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed bug where empty OPTION caused KeyError. Thanks to Doug
Henderson.
* Released 0.1.13 and 0.0.14.
2003-11-11 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed bugs where TEXTAREA or OPTION containing entity reference
would result in truncated element contents. Thanks to Michael
Howitz again!
* Applied fixes to 0.0.x for ImageControl integer coordinates,
TEXTAREA content .strip()ping and entity references in TEXTAREA
and OPTION.
* Released 0.1.12 and 0.0.13.
2003-11-07 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* TEXTAREA contents are no longer .strip()ped on form parsing.
* Released 0.1.11.
2003-11-03 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed ImageControl.pairs(): return value contained integer
coordinates instead of strings. Thanks to Michael Howitz.
2003-10-31 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* XHTML support for Pythons >= 2.2. Thanks to Michael Howitz.
* Released 0.1.10.
2003-10-02 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Bugfix: selection of default control to click on is supposed to
only happen if no control is explictly requested, but id wasn't
included in that. Now, it is.
2003-09-28 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed HTMLForm.attrs. Thanks to Scott Chapman.
* Released ClientForm 0.0.12 and 0.1.9 (first stable release of
0.1.x).
2003-09-21 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Interface change (sorry): id is now supported. This means
Controls have an id attribute, and appropriate HTMLForm methods
have an id argument. This will only affect people using
positional arguments after the 'kind' argument.
* Interface change: BUTTON/BUTTON now has type "buttonbutton" (was
"button") to prevent clash with type of INPUT/BUTTON (was and is
"button"). Both types of control are ignored anyway (ie.
represented by IgnoreControl), so it's unlikely any code is
affected.
* SubmitControl value now defaults to "", so it is successful even
when no value is given in the HTML.
* Extraneous "\r\n\r\n" at start of multipart/form-data POST data
removed.
* Multiple file upload now emits multipart/mixed, rather than
multipart/multipart/mixed, as content-type!
* Content-disposition header now comes before content-type, in
case that matters...
* Slight tweak to SelectControl.fixup, to fix case where multiple
SELECT is empty.
* Released 0.1.8b.
2003-07-12 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Added indication to ListControl.__str__ of disabled items --
they have parentheses around them: item 1, (item 2), item 3
means "item 2" is disabled.
* Released 0.1.7b.
2003-07-10 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Removed assertion that self.value is None in
IgnoreControl.__init__. Now sets value to None instead. Thanks
to Martijn Faasen for bug report. Same for FileControl.
2003-07-23 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.6a changes:
* After some thought about Law of Demeter, realised that there was
no justification for deprecating most use of find_control, nor
for all of the new methods on HTMLForm. Use of find_control
is now officially OK again. set_/get_readonly,
set_/get_disabled, set_/get_item_disabled and
set_all_items disabled, have been removed from HTMLForm.
* Added HTMLForm.set_all_readonly method. This one is actually
useful!
* All methods on Controls that used to be separate _by_label
methods are now by_label arguments, now I see that labels can be
defined for all controls' items. The exceptions are
set_value_by_label and get_value_by_label, since there is no
method to add an argument to in those cases. The lack of
implementation of by_label for CHECKBOX and RADIO is considered
a bug, so NotImplementedError is raised. LabelNotSupportedError
has gone.
* Released 0.1.6a.
2003-07-22 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.6a changes:
* Added some tests for new HTMLForm methods.
* ListControl.readonly now exists and works.
* Corrected error message for predicate arg of
HTMLForm.find_control.
* Fixed HTMLForm.get_readonly.
* Fixed ListControl.get_item_disabled.
* Fixed exception raised by ListControl: was TypeError, now
LabelNotSupportedError.
* Fixed ListControl.get_value, .set_value and .possible_items
exception messages.
* Enforced restriction on new HTMLForm methods that at least one
find_control argument must be supplied.
2003-07-14 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a changes:
* Removed listcontrol arg from HTMLForm methods, added kind and
predicate arguments to .find_control. kind argument is
available in most HTMLForm methods.
* set methods take selected argument set(selected, "itemname"),
and the clear methods are gone.
2003-07-13 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a changes:
* FileControl now unsuccessful when disabled attribute is true.
* Moved most method definitions in Control into ScalarControl.
* ListControls now always take sequence values, never string-like
values.
* listcontrol argument on appropriate HTMLForm methods, in
addition to name, type and nr. This allows you to ask for a
ListControl without specifying the exact type.
* All controls now have the readonly attribute.
* Renamed get_value_as_label --> get_value_by_label.
* Renamed possible_values --> possible_items.
* Renamed possible_labels --> possible_item_labels.
* SelectControl.set_by_label, .clear_by_label, and
.toggle_by_label have now gone, to be replaced by by_label
arguments to .get, .set and .toggle.
* Added files now have their MIME content type guessed unless the
content type is explicitly specified in content_type argument to
add_file. At the moment, it's always guessed to be
application/octet-stream.
2003-07-12 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a changes:
* get_item_attrs now raises IndexError instead of returning None
when the item is not found.
* Realised that exceptions raised are a mess (IndexError should
never have been raised at all, for a start). Rethought it all
and thoroughly overhauled it.
2003-07-08 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a changes:
* Added toggle_single, set_single, clear_single methods to
HTMLForm and ListControl. This is useful when you have a
single-item list control (usually a single checkbox that you
want to check), and you want to select that item without having
to know what the item's name is (it's usually something
meaningless like "1" or "on").
* FileControl no longer derives from TextControl.
* Moved most documentation from Control objects into HTMLForm.
The class docstring for HTMLForm now contains most of what you
need to know.
2003-07-07 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a: Empty SelectControl can now be constructed.
2003-07-06 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a changes:
* Interface change: the HTMLForm.set, .clear and .toggle
methods now take value as *first* argument, with the other
arguments reflecting those of find_control (ie. name, type, nr).
* find_control and find_item now behave as documented with regard
to need to supply all arguments (nr now defaults to None, not
0).
* Renamed find_item --> get_item_attrs.
* Added ListControl.get_item_disabled and .set_item_disabled
methods, and support for OPTGROUP (disabled OPTGROUPs make their
OPTIONs disabled). No longer need to mess with attrs dictionary
to set disabled state of items.
* Renamed items --> pairs.
* Renamed click_items --> click_pairs.
* HTML attribute dictionaries now contain *all* original HTML
attributes, including those that are exposed elsewhere in the
ClientForm API (such as name, type, multiple, selected).
* HTMLForm.find_control now raises IndexError instead of returning
None when no control is found. set_disabled, set_readonly,
click, click_request_data, click_pairs, set, clear, toggle,
possible_values all now raise IndexError instead of ValueError
when no control is found.
* HTMLForm.set_disabled, .set_readonly now take boolean arg as
first argument, and take type and nr args.
* HTMLForm.set_readonly now raises AttributeError, not ValueError,
when invoked for control with no readonly attribute.
* Fixed minor, latent 1.5.2-compatibility bug in MapBase.
* HTMLForm.set, .get, .toggle now raise AttributeError, not
TypeError, on being invoked for non-list controls.
* Removed nr argument from all methods related to find_item_attrs.
Not needed AFAICS!
* Lots of new delegating methods on HTMLForm.
* ListControl.multiple is now enforced to be readonly.
* Controls now take extra name argument (to enable creating empty
ListControls).
* Some code cleanup.
2003-07-04 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.5a: Added HTMLForm.set_disabled and .set_readonly methods.
2003-06-29 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Noticed that I was wrong about browser behaviour with default
selection for RADIO with no explictly selected items in HTML.
In fact, browsers don't select any items in that case, in
contradiction to HTML 4.01 (and RFC 1866, FWIW). Default is now
for RadioControl to follow this behaviour, and the various
select_default arguments now make RADIO follow the HTML 4.01
standard.
* RadioControls now no longer have to have exactly one item
selected.
* 0.1.4a: set / clear / toggle methods on HTMLForm and ListControl
now work with single-selection controls.
* Released 0.0.11 and 0.1.4a.
2003-06-28 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* 0.1.4a:
* Removed all asserts from tests. Now uses TestCase.assert_
method.
* All raise statements now raise Exception objects, not classes,
and use the raise FooError('msg') syntax.
* Simplified implementation of HTMLForm set / clear / toggle
methods.
* Corrected exception message for ListControl set / clear / toggle
methods: was giving item name instead of control name for
single-selection lists.
* Moved ListControl._single_set_value method from ListControl into
RadioControl.
* disabled attribute is now handled differently: if any item has
the disabled HTML-attribute, the control's value can't be set,
but ListControl.set, .clear and .toggle (or the methods on
HTMLForm with the same names) can still be used. Using those
methods, individual items can't be set if they're disabled.
ATM, to un-disable an item, you have to del the dictionary key:
del form.find_control("cheeses").find_item("cheddar")["disabled"]
which will have to change, I think.
2003-06-25 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Changed license to BSD, to make it easier to use other code.
The only difference is the addition of a non-endorsement clause.
* Default value for single-selection SELECT controls was wrong,
and at odds with my own comments! Before, nothing was selected
if select_default was False (the default). Now, the first item
is selected. Thanks to Chris Curvey.
* CHECKBOX and multiple SELECT controls now allow
control.value = None.
* Better isstringlike function, after Alex Martelli.
* RadioControl now has default value "on" -- same as for
CheckboxControl. Both IE5 and Mozilla Firebird 0.6 do this.
* Fixed toggle_by_label & co. exceptions: before, raised
KeyError, now raises ValueError.
* Released 0.0.10 and 0.1.3a.
2003-06-13 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Parse errors may now be ignored, thanks to ignore_errors
argument to ParseFile and ParseResponse.
* 0.1.3a: Added HTMLForm.set and HTMLForm.clear methods (and
corresponding control methods).
2003-06-12 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* HTMLForm.__getitem__ and .__setitem__ now raise IndexError when
they should.
* 0.1.3a: Change all HTTP headers to use initial caps in first
word only (Content-type, not Content-Type), for 2.3
compatibility when checking private Request.headers dict in
tests.
2003-06-09 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.0.9 and 0.1.2a.
2003-06-07 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Improved output of __str__ methods. Every control type now has
its own class.
* Added nr argument to click* methods.
* 0.1.2a: Fixed bug in _request_data: POST with
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" failed due to incorrect
return value.
2003-06-03 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.0.8 and 0.1.1a.
2003-05-28 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed HTMLForm.__str__, which was calling repr on its Controls
rather than str, which was rather unhelpful.
* Added a bit in README.html explaining single-checkbox-with-
missing-value-attribute case.
2003-04-30 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.1.0a.
2003-04-05 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* In 0.1.0a: Added file upload capability for INPUT TYPE=FILE
controls (for single files only).
* In 0.1.0a: Removed items argument to HTMLForm.click method, and
added click_items and click_request_data methods. Removed items
and make_request methods from HTMLForm. Made SubmitControl.click
method private -- is now named _click, and is only called by
HTMLForm.
* In 0.1.0a: IsindexControl is now clickable, and isindex_url has
been removed, since it was essentially pointless.
* In 0.1.0a: Changed SelectControl so it has an attrs dict of HTML
attributes. SELECT and OPTION HTML attributes are now separate.
2003-03-23 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.0.7.
2003-03-08 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* In 0.1.0a: FormParser no longer deletes type HTML attribute from
the dictionary of HTML attributes it provides -- is now the
control's responsibility.
2003-03-05 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Allow INPUT TYPE=FILE in form (file upload still not
implemented -- this is just to allow parsing forms containing
file upload controls).
2003-02-14 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed empty TEXTAREA case. Thanks to Khalid Zuberi for the bug
report and fix.
* Released 0.0.6.
2003-02-05 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.0.5 (first stable release).
2003-01-05 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Parser now no longer reads entire file before starting to work
on data.
2002-12-13 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Implemented ISINDEX submission, and updated documentation (see
IsindexControl.__doc__).
* Changed type attributes of BUTTON TYPE=SUBMIT and
BUTTON TYPE=RESET to "submitbutton" and "resetbutton"
respectively. Previously, they were "submit" and "reset"
respectively, which made it impossible to tell whether they came
from a BUTTON or an INPUT control.
* Improved README.html.
2002-11-19 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.0.4b.
2002-11-17 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Changed license to MIT (from Perl Artistic). Thanks, Gisle.
* Removed README, created README.html and INSTALL. README mostly
just restated what was in the web page, so README.html is now
just a copy of the web page.
2002-11-16 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Tested label methods of SelectControl.
* Removed undocumented munging of SELECT's value HTML attribute to
the key "select_value" in the HTML attributes dict returned by
SelectControl.items(). The purpose of this, in the original
Perl, was presumably to avoid clobbering SELECT's value HTML
attribute (since OPTION and SELECT HTML attributes are merged to
generate this dictionary). The only trouble is, SELECT *has* no
value HTML attribute! Either some buggy HTML contains SELECT
controls with value attributes, or Gisle was not paying
attention when he wrote this, or both!
2002-11-14 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed select_default for single-selection SELECT controls.
2002-11-13 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Replaced __repr__ methods with __str__ methods. Very unlikely
to break anyone's code. repr(obj) now gives something more
useful, str(obj) still gives the same result.
* Fixed ParseResponse, which was ignoring the select_default
argument.
* Cleaned up constructors of ScalarControl and ListControl.
Control is now more clearly an abstract base class (not meant to
be instantiated).
* ListControl is now an abstract base class, with subclasses
RadioControl, CheckboxControl and SelectControl.
* Rather than using the values of the OPTION elements to set
SelectControl values, SelectControl items can also be specified
by the labels of the OPTION elements. For example, if you have
a SELECT control like so:
<SELECT>
<OPTION value="br">Brie</OPTION>
<OPTION value="ched">Cheddar</OPTION>
<OPTION value="grgnz" label="Gorgonzola">Special offer on
Gorgonzola!</OPTION>
</SELECT>
instead of setting its value like this:
control.value = ["br", "ched", "grgnz"]
you can now optionally use the more readable (and, possibly,
more maintainable):
control.set_value_by_label(["Brie", "Cheddar", "Gorgonzola"])
Note that the label HTML attribute defaults to the content of
the OPTION element (as does the value HTML attribute).
* Improved documentation and comments.
2002-11-04 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed TextControl default value to be empty string rather than
None. This has the effect that text controls are successful
even when empty.
* Stopped Content-Type from being emitted twice.
2002-10-25 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Released 0.0.3b
2002-10-24 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Changed handling of SELECT/multiple ListControls: select_default
argument to various functions and methods now indicates whether
or not should follow RFC 1866 or Netscape / IE behaviour in
setting default selection if no 'selected' HTML attribute was
given.
* Changed type of SELECT/OPTION controls to "select" from
"option". This is more appropriate, since SELECT is the element
that represents the control, whereas the OPTION element
represents the list items inside the control.
* Removed readonly attribute from ListControl -- reading W3C
HTML 4 specification carefully and testing with Netscape / IE
reveals that this isn't intended to work with INPUT elements
other than those of type TEXT and PASSWORD.
* Fixed Control.__setattr__ to make value of disabled controls
read-only.
* Improved tests and documentation.

* Some testing on a site having a fairly complicated sequence of
forms. No problems came to light.
* Made name and type attributes of Control readonly.
* Improved documentation.
2002-10-15 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed make_request to pass urlencode(data) instead of data for
POST.
* Thanks to Conrad Schneiker for help with HTTPS on Windows and a
bug report.
2002-10-11 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Fixed silly Python 2.3 forwards-compatibility bug (True / False
constants were defined, overwriting the new builtin versions in
2.3).
* Fixed treatment of form method -- was incorrectly treated as
case-sentitive.
* Fixed enctype default in FormParser.
2002-10-07 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Added TEXTAREA.
* Added HTMLForm.attrs attribute, which is a dictionary mapping
HTML attributes to their values.
* Added more tests.
* Back-ported to Python 1.5.2.
2002-10-06 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Renamed 'input' to 'control' everywhere (HTML 4.0 terminology,
and more accurate, because one Control may represent more than
one INPUT or OPTION, in the case of ListControl).
* Changed interface of HTMLForm.find_control and
HTMLForm.possible_values, so that nr argument begins indexing at
0 rather than 1.
* Added name attribute to HTMLForm.
* Fixed case where HTMLForm.find_control is passed only nr
argument.
* Fixed find_control to return None rather than raise an
exception.
* Renamed HTMLForm.push_control to new_control.
* Replaced HTMLForm.controls method with attribute.
* Fixed ListControl.set_value method in single-selection case.
* Replaced all type, name, value and set_value methods with
attributes and __getattr__ / __setattr__.
* Added multiple attribute, indicating whether or not ListControl
can have more than one value selected at a time.
* Added ScalarControl base class, which has attrs attribute which
is a dictionary mapping HTML attributes to their values.
* Added find_item method to ListControl, which allows access to
HTML attributes of items in the sequence.
* Removed controls argument of HTMLForm.__init__.
* Altered handling of disabled and readonly -- now are attributes
on Control instances, and may be set or cleared to change
Control's behaviour.
* Added toggle methods to ListControl and Form.
* Fixed ParseFile (hence ParseResponse) to set default form action
correctly when there is none given in HTML.
* Fixed many tests.
* Improved documentation.
2002-09-29 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Edited down large test file to save space.
2002-09-22 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Added HTMLForm.possible_values method.
* First use on internet -- seems to work.
* Announced on comp.lang.python.announce.
* Released 0.0.2a
2002-09-20 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Uploaded 0.0.1a
2002-09-14 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Ported form tests from my old classes.
* Added input.merge_input() so that ListInputs can be created easily
without an HTMLForm.
2002-08-23 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* General clean-up.
* Added tests for input classes and debugged: tests now pass.
* Things should more-or-less work now.
2002-08-19 John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>
* Finished port.
* Tests from LWP pass.
