Package: libxerces-c3.1
Version: 3.1.3+debian-1
Severity: wishlist

Currently, Xerces-C does not support fetching HTTPS URLs.
This is more and more becoming a problem, since a lot of sites have
switched to auto-redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS.

Xerces-C using programs and libraries, like XQilla for instance,
inherit their protocol capabilities from Xerces-C.

Please consider adding --enable-netaccessor-curl to the ./configure
invokation of Xerces-C.

A simple rebuild of Xerces-C with --enable-netaccessor-curl added and
libcurl4-gnutls-dev installed confirms that Xerces-C can now handle
HTTPS URLs just fine.
