Randall Leeds reopened COUCHDB-1042:
------------------------------------
Skill Level: New Contributors Level (Easy)
Assignee: Randall Leeds
I think now that the js tests run with make check something is needed here. We
should issue a warning that these tests won't be run when the dependency isn't
satisfied, and then not run them.
> make libcurl a soft (optional) dependency

> Key: COUCHDB-1042

> Components: Build System
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1

>
> 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).
