Compiling extensions about patron HOT 4 CLOSED

That version of curl is quite old (released in January of 2008). Patron should work with curl 7.19.4 or later. I could probably create a patch that would work around this issue but it might be at the expense of some features that rely on later versions of libcurl.

Yes, that version is oldish, I'm kinda stuck with it for a while.

I just realized that, the "problem" is caused by the support of SOCKS family of protocols 12d55f9#diff-0 . Maybe an #ifdef CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0 directive will solve the compiling problems.

FYI 0.4.9 does work just fine with the old version, so maybe people (aka me) should just update their curl versions to use patron 4.0.10 ;-).

I am cleaning out the issue queue and ran into this one. After contemplating for a while I have decided not to add an #ifdef for this case. libcurl is constantly adding constants, and 7.18 is an extremely old version of curl. AFAICT Patron will work with version 7.19 and above, and I am willing to establish that as the minimum version of curl required. The problem is that trying to work out which constants need to be #ifdefed to work with old versions of curl would be huge and the resulting code would be significantly cluttered up. If someone can point out a place where 7.18 is common and make a good argument that Patron should support 7.18 then I am willing to reconsider.

Sensible choice I did update my curl after all anyway.
