This will initialize headers from elements like , ... and . o Simplified $response->base implementation, because we don't have to look into the content any more. o Added -quiet option to lwp-rget o Typo fixes and some documentation additions. Thu May 9 1996 Gisle Aas o Release 5b13 o Made URI::URL::strict(0) the default. I got tired of all this eval { } stuff just to recover.
