Bug#907496: libcurlpp0: Always fails with "No URL set!"

[Aloïs Micard]

This bug has been finally reproduced on a refresh VM.

It happens when the NSS flavour of libcurl4-dev is installed.
Otherwise with both GnuTLS / OpenSSL it works without problem.

I will write a patch to fix that.

Cheers

Bug#907496: libcurlpp0: Always fails with "No URL set!"

[Juhani Numminen]

Hi,

I'd like to report that I'm not seeing this error.

When I compile and run the program from Ted's mail, I just get some
HTML from example.org in stdout as expected.

Bug#907496: libcurlpp0: Always fails with "No URL set!"

[Ted Percival]

Package: libcurlpp0
Version: 0.8.1-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

libcurlpp0 appears to always fail with a "No URL set!" error message.
I only tested the "Easy" API.

For example even the first example in its repo

doesn't work:

$ g++ -Wall example00.cpp `curlpp-config --cflags --libs` `curl-config --cflags 
--libs`
$ ./a.out 
No URL set!

I recompiled libcurlpp using both 7 & 8[1] and when linking the example program 
to
the new build it works fine (both static & dynamic libs). So I'm not sure where
the problem lies but even after reinstalling the Debian package I could only get
it to work with my local libcurlpp.
