Log Message:
Update to 5.805:

2005-12-08   Gisle Aas

    Release 5.805

    HTTP::Date: The str2time function returned wrong values for
    years in the early 20th century, because timelocal() actually
    expects the year to be provided on a different scale than what
    localtime() returns.

    HTTP::Headers can now be constructed with field names that repeat.
    The $h->header function now also accept repeating field
    names and can also remove headers if passed undef as value.

    HTML::Form: The parse method now takes hash style optional
    arguments and the old verbose behaviour is now off by default.

    HTML::Form: Accept <select multiple=""> for compatibilty with
    other browsers.  Patch by Josh Rai

    HTML::Form: Sane handling of 'disabled' for ListInput.
    Based on patch by Joao Lopes

    HTTP::Negotiate: Fixed matching of partial language tags.
    Patch contributed by Dan Kubb.

    HTTP::Response: The as_string method now returns a status line
    that doesn't add the "official" code name in the message
    field.  This improves the ability to round-trip response objects
    via HTTP::Response->parse($res->as_string) and makes the first
    line of the string returned agree with $res->status_line.

    Net::HTTP: The host attribute can now be set undef in
    order to suppress this header for HTTP/1.0 requests.

    Net::HTTP: The default Host: header does not include the
    port number if it is the default (80 for plain HTTP). Some
    servers get confused by this.

    Net::HTTP: Ignore bogus Content-Length headers. Don't get
    confused by leading or trailing whitespace.

    LWP::Protocol::http: More efficient sending of small PUT/POST
    requests by trying harder to pass off the whole request in a
    single call to syswrite.

    lwp-request now give better error messages if you used the
    -o option without having the HTML-Tree distribution installed.
    Also document this dependency.

    Release 5.804

    HTTP::Message->parse did not work when the first line of the body
    was something that looked like a header.

    HTTP::Header::Auth needs HTTP::Headers to be loaded before
    it replace its functions.

    LWP::Protocol::nntp improvements by Ville Skyttä
     - Support the nntp: scheme.
     - Support hostname in news: and nntp: URIs.
     - Close connection and preserve headers also in non-OK responses.
     - HEAD support for URIs identifying a newsgroup.
     - Comment spelling fixes.

    Fix quotes in Net::HTTP example.
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283916

    Detect EOF when expecting a chunk header.  Should address the
    warnings shown in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286775

    WWW::RobotRules: Improved parsing of not strictly valid robots.txt files

    Makefile.PL: Set name to LWP so that the .packlist ends up in the
    expected place.
