What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use HTTPUpload::SendRequest() on Debian systems without libcurl3
or libcurl4-gnutls-dev.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect success.
Instead fails to send with no error message.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mozilla trunk on Ubuntu Linux 9.04.
Debian gives the libcurl library a different name when it is built to use
gnutls instead of openssl, for licensing reasons. Looks like most packages
are being moved to depend on the gnutls version. Here's one example:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519070#20
So libcurl-gnutls.so.4 is much more likely to be installed on these systems
than libcurl.so.4.
