I've now uploaded libwww-perl-5.804 to CPAN. This just flush out the
state of the CVS tree as of yesterday to get things rolling again. I
intend to put out a new release in a day or two as I go through old
bugs reports and patches. This might be a good time to remind me
about issues you find important. :)

The changes in 5.804 were:

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.

Detect EOF when expecting a chunk header. Should address the
warnings shown in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D28=
6775

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

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

Enjoy!
