I'm getting this on master 0.4:

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

Horrifyingly, that .zip file is still coming from my public Dropbox folder, so probably need to figure out a better place (@tkelman?). Maybe bad connection to Dropbox? Try again?
The Requests thing looks like an ICU.jl problem.

[tkelman]

Oh dear. I can put this in my Sourceforge binary dumping ground and/or give access to anyone else who wants it (not that it's hard to make your own...). The JuliaLang S3 would be even better. I thought the Binaries provider would be using the native Windows file downloading API rather than curl?

We could also figure out how to actually create a new WinRPM package, I've been meaning to go through that process one of these days.

[quinnj]

The HttpCommon issue has been resolved by moving the dependency on Calendar to Dates.jl. What do you guys think about the binary issue?

[tkelman]

It's a pretty damn tiny file, 76 KB. Can BinDeps handle local file Binaries? I know it's bad git practice, but we could even just check the file into the repository here.

[IainNZ]

I personally think that'd be fine. Not sure about BinDeps.

[astrieanna]

I thought the last time we discussed this, it was going to move onto the JuliaLang S3. I can't find the discussion currently, but this was definitely discussed before.

[IainNZ]

It was probably in January when I was scrabbling to get all working for the class I was teaching.
Who has control of S3? The file is indeed available at that address (the problem that caused this issue must have been fleeting), so all it needs is someone with the magical powers to download it put it there.
I'd be pretty into putting it inside HttpParser itself though.

[astrieanna]

Hey @StefanKarpinski or @ViralBShah, could you help us put the HttpParser's tiny binary dependency into JuliaLang's S3?

[Keno]

I think there might be value in rewriting HttpParser in julia. Usually I don't recommend it, but it's not a big library and avoiding the binary dependency is a huge win.

[IainNZ]

It is pretty short, ~2000 of C. Could be fun project for someone to get their feet wet with Julia for non-math-stuff.
