The code I introduced in e47a8583a20256851e7fc882233e3bd5bf33dc6e
(enable SO_KEEPALIVE for connected TCP sockets Dec 2011)
didn't trigger the addition of any new #ifdef guards.  I think we're
fine (but I'll let others confirm it).

[PATCH] http: use curl's tcp keepalive if available

 I wanted it to work as older curl first (since I noticed this
 on an old server).  But your patch on top of mine looks reasonable,
 thanks.

Makes sense. Here it is with a real commit message (on top of the
ew/keepalive topic).

Subject: http: use curl's tcp keepalive if available

Commit a15d069 taught git to use curl's SOCKOPTFUNCTION hook
to turn on TCP keepalives. However, modern versions of curl
have a TCP_KEEPALIVE option, which can do this for us. As an
added bonus, the curl code knows how to turn on keepalive
for a much wider variety of platforms. The only downside to
using this option is that not everybody has a new enough curl.
Let's split our keepalive options into three conditionals:

  1. With curl 7.25.0 and newer, we rely on curl to do it
 right.

  2. With older curl that still knows SOCKOPTFUNCTION, we
 use the code from a15d069.

  3. Otherwise, we are out of luck, and the call is a no-op.

Given the #ifdefs in curl's keepalive code, I suspect we may see build
problems for people in case 2 on some systems, with or without my patch.
I think this patch is a strict improvement, though; if they have a new
enough curl, they will not even look at the case 2 code. And if they do
not, our previous options were:

  a. Add platform-specific code for them.
  
  b. Tell them they are out of luck, and add an #ifdef to push them into
 case 3.

Now we have an extra option:

  c. Tell them to upgrade curl. :)

 on curl 7.21.0 and 7.26.0, confirmed via strace:
 
   setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [1], 4) = 0
 
 I can also confirm 7.26.0 adds:
 
   setsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPIDLE, [60], 4) = 0
   setsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPINTVL, [60], 4) = 0
 
 to the strace on Linux.

Thanks, I didn't actually do any testing myself.

 Case 2 works fine on my Debian Squeeze system.

 Yes, I keep forgetting I still have a Debian Squeeze machine :x

I am more concerned with Windows, which may not compile your original
patch at all.
