> Reporter: Randall Leeds

>
> 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).
