I think I'll just fix that and make it an opt-in feature instead -- just because I'm tired of fighting it and I think limiting the requirements on non-Boost libraries would be a good thing. Expect me to change this to: BOOST_NETWORK_ENABLE_HTTPS In my next push. Thanks to you, Erik, and Fernando for giving me enough reasons to change this and actually do it. :) -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
