LWP, no. My Mac OS X perl installation appears to have LWP installed by dumb luck but my Gentoo Linux perl doesn't have LWP anywhere in @INC. :-) Yet both systems run GIT happily. The HTTP support in GIT is already linked against libcurl and libcurl is required to use said HTTP support. I would think that libcurl is capable of using Keep-Alive when possible, and libcurl and C are certainly available anywhere GIT's HTTP support is currently being used. Ideally any HTTP feature should either be using the curl command line tool, or better, be written in C against the libcurl library. But not LWP. Its not always available even though a valid perl is. -- Shawn. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
