Sorry that nobody answered this. I'm not much help, but usually it is hard to get help on individual packages on julia-users. A common suggestion is to open an issue with the github repository to get the attention of the developer. If that does not work, it is more likely that someone that have never used the package will look into the problem, when you ask for help on julia-users with a link to an issue that did not get a proper response for a day or two.
There are also some compatibility issues between 0.2.1 and the 0.3-prereleases, and lots of package authors have not been diligent about tagging their first 0.2 incompatible version as 0.3-only. That way the problem might be fixed if you try to use older versions of Requests (Pkg.pin()) or try with the latest nightly build of 0.3-prerelease Ivar kl. 19:45:46 UTC+2 torsdag 29. mai 2014 skrev Clemente Cuevas følgende: > > Hello, > > Fairly new to using Julia and the Julia Community but loving it so far!
