Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] cpp-netlib on vista + MinGW

[Divye K. <div...@gm...>]

The test suites in the http_integration branch work "as is" by simply
running bjam in the tests directory or the root of the branch by using
the Visual Studio configured command line (provided bjam is in your
path).  The tests compile and run, though they may run indefinitely if
internet access is not available because if the hosts are not
resolved, the code does not exit cleanly.
