I also have my doubts about this idea. Given that we support some legacy systems and the user interface tends to be less stable than an API (though comparing the flags between curl 7.38.0 in Debian 8 and curl 7.19.7 in CentOS 6.7, I don’t see a lot of differences in the important ones).
So I guess what I am trying to say is, if we go this route, let’s make sure it is fully compatible across versions and the behavior is uniform. > On 03 Mar 2016, at 18:39, Alex Clemmer <[email protected]> wrote: > > Looks like the relevant review is this one: > https://reviews.apache.org/r/40418/diff/3#4 > > I _suspect_ this will work with Windows, but am not positive. > Optimistically, it's not clear to me whether it makes sense to add it > as a dependency, because I don't know how to get its location reliably > on Windows.
