Re: Call for update of avhttp because of boost 1.57

 

Hi Jean-Paul

The patch is not against boost, but against avhttp to handle new
behaivour in boost 1.57.

You only need to update boost if you have a need for it. I would just
like to see this taken care of because boost 1.57 is what is in my
distributions repo, and I skip the kicad boost building.
