[jira] [Created] (XERCESC-2207) Rationalise network accessors

Roger Leigh created XERCESC-2207:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Rationalise network accessors
                 Key: XERCESC-2207
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2207
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Miscellaneous
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
            Reporter: Roger Leigh
             Fix For: 3.3.0


We currently support four netaccessors: curl, winsock, socket and cfurl.  And also "none" if network support is disabled.

This makes the test matrix quite large.  Additionally, with the recent push to use HTTPS everywhere, I wonder about the dangers of Xerces using its own plain HTTP implementation over sockets without any SSL support.

Would dropping socket and winsock, and requiring curl or cfurl make sense?
