>                 Key: COUCHDB-734
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-734
>             Project: CouchDB
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: JavaScript View Server
>    Affects Versions: 0.11
>         Environment: RHEL 5.5 & derivatives
>            Reporter: Martin Foster
>
> 0.11.0 uses curl_easy_setopt() functions that are only present in curl > 7.18
> backporting curl 7.18 is a major problem for RHEL 5 & derivative distributions who have 7.15
> the problem is with the two callbacks, used by couchdb/priv/couch_js/httpd.c
> CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION & CURLOPT_SEEKDATA
> my knowledge of curl's API is near-zero, but I believe a 7.15 compatible implementation is possible.  If possible it would be great to maintain compatibility with curl 7.15 until RHEL6 becomes generally available.
