libcurl is a big beast with a C interface. libxml2 was similar and its use, in retrospect, was a mistake in my view. HappyHTTP is a very light-weight, which matches our requirements, and it is all in the 30K of cpp and h files. I guess (but do not know) that additionally it needs no more than routine OS calls. If it usable on Linux I would say it is better to avoid the extra dependency. If it's not suitable I'll have a go at the rewriting for libcurl. > For the moment, it might be best to disable on non-windows platforms > so that the dashboard doesn't have errors.

By default, this facility should not be built on any platform unless -DUSE_WEB is used. The errors last night were cause by me committing the wrong file, which I hope is now corrected, and for which I apologize.
