make libcurl a soft (optional) dependency
-----------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1042
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1042
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Reporter: Randall Leeds
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.2, 2.0
Attachments: 0001-make-cURL-an-optional-dependency.patch
CouchDB currently uses libcurl only in couchjs to expose HTTP client functions
to the JavaScript environment. This functionality is used by the JavaScript
unit tests. For idempotent views it is discouraged to perform I/O in a view
function. Therefore, I propose that libcurl be made an optional dependency,
automatically detected at build time, and a flag added to couchjs so it can be
explicitly enabled in the unit tests (but disabled, by default, for the query
server).
