Except you can build HTTP on Linux and NOT depend on the gnu license libc. I can use clang as the compiler (or the intel compiler or ….) and not end up with a dependency on a LGPL library. If you have a non-LGPL version of libaio, then by all means, let’s use it. > libaio is also a platform API. libaio is NOT installed by default on pretty much any of the linux “platforms" so I would have a hard time considering as a part of the platform. -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org - http://dankulp.com/blog Talend Community Coder - http://coders.talend.com
