  • changed: make all references thread safe by default

New in Platinum UPnP SDK 0.6.7 (Nov 18, 2011)

  • fixed: request would fail when retrying on a new connection after the previous one failed because server closed it without using a Connection:close header. Only happens with requests containing a body.
