    Description

      CouchDB currently uses libcurl only in couchjs to expose HTTP client functions to the JavaScript environment. This functionality is used by the JavaScript unit tests. For idempotent views it is discouraged to perform I/O in a view function. Therefore, I propose that libcurl be made an optional dependency, automatically detected at build time, and a flag added to couchjs so it can be explicitly enabled in the unit tests (but disabled, by default, for the query server).
