A few things to think about in the discussion --there are a number of SSL providers available... OpenSSL, MatrixSSL, MS Windows API --OpenSSL may be packaged with most GNU/Linux distributions, but it's not on Windows --OpenSSL has a dependency on Perl to build on MS Windows, so an additional dependency is created (Perl is not packaged with Windows) I understand that the effect could be made with a define like BOOST_NETLIB_NO_SSL, but that seems like a big hammer... Is there no other way to pay for only what you use (http, in this case)? As an aside, I previously investigated building both MatrixSSL and OpenSSL into my portable (Windows/Linux) app and found MatrixSSL much simpler to work with.
