Randall Leeds closed COUCHDB-1042. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Resolved again by 39d81d5..bf7c74e > make libcurl a soft (optional) dependency > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1042 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1042 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build System > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Reporter: Randall Leeds > Assignee: Randall Leeds > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2, 2.0 > > Attachments: 0001-make-cURL-an-optional-dependency.patch, > 0001-no-lcurl-if-no-curl-support.patch, curl_as_soft_dep.patch, > curl_as_soft_dep_v2.patch > > > CouchDB currently uses libcurl only in couchjs to expose HTTP client > functions to the JavaScript environment. This functionality is used by the > JavaScript unit tests. For idempotent views it is discouraged to perform I/O > in a view function. Therefore, I propose that libcurl be made an optional > dependency, automatically detected at build time, and a flag added to couchjs > so it can be explicitly enabled in the unit tests (but disabled, by default, > for the query server). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
