Do you want me to reissue the merge? This looks fine to me.

In this case, I was modelling the include after http.c, and remote-curl.c,
which would have the same problem. I was going for consistency. Would not
all three have to be fixed in a separate patch?

I think that is logical. Do you need this redone? Although the OpenSSL
inclusion is already merged from what I can see.
