** Historical **

[Pat Thoyts] 2002-10 writes: I got interested in enhancing the stock Tcl http package
for HTTP/1.1. That is the Tcl http client. My mods are in the [tclSOAP]
CVS at [sourceforge] (because I can easily dump stuff there) but since
then [Phil Dietz] has done more work on this.

   [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.tcl/PY6Feno6fKA/tuOrM-3iZFIJ%|%Need HTTP 1.1 support in Tcl], [comp.lang.tcl], 2002-01-27:   various people discuss 1.1, among other things; Pat summarizes the remarks in http://tclsoap.sourceforge.net/http.html.

It seems as if [TclSOAP] has a proposed version of the http package
which supports persistent connection (see above). What else is needed
for HTTP 1.1 (and things like the [webdav] extensions to HTTP 1.1)? Is
there a simple overview document which describes in a simple way what
the differences really are?

[Phil Dietz] and [Eric Boudaillier] have opened a [SourceForge] project for this with the project name of tclhttp1-1 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclhttp1-1]

[PT]: Any useful code from the other http1.1 enhanced packages should get merged into this one

[tclvfs] comes with some minor mods to tclsoap's http package to support webdav -- would be good to merge that stuff.

[PT] writes: I already did this for the [tclSOAP] version and I've applied this to the tclhttp1-1 version but I need to commit this (as of 2003-01-27). The tclvfs changes simply add a '-method' option to enable HTTP requests other than GET, HEAD and POST. For instance 
======
set tok [http::geturl http://www.google.com/ -method OPTIONS]
======

will get the options header from the server. For WebDAV there are a number of other commands to use.
