Use url-retrieve on Windows systems #161

Closed nikclayton closed 5 years ago

nikclayton commented 5 years ago

The curl binary that ships with Windows is not compatible with curl on Linux/OSX.

Closes #111.

dickmao commented 5 years ago

143 attempted to make things better for Windows users (we still do not test that platform). If possible, I would encourage installing request.el from melpa instead of melpa-stable to get that change.

Some users must install from melpa-stable, so I just cut a release 0.3.2 that reflects the latest state of master. It should make its way to melpa-stable within the hour.

We generally try not to slot Windows users into url-retrieve if we can help it (since curl is the more versatile backend), so I am closing this with gratitude. As an FYI, your PR is on top of development which has been abandoned since June. If you work off the master branch, travis should not output the error you're seeing.
