I meant after I applied the patch. :) It's in branch 0.5-devel now.

Yes, I see the same thing.

I'll look at addressing the HTTP 1.1 test issues if I can. The build
time and resource requirements are really a little disturbing to me,
but then I think that is the nature of the beast that is C++ and C++
template metaprogramming. Currently it's not high up on my list
because I'm concentrating on implementing functionality first rather
than optimizing the build/test times -- but maybe it has come to the
point where the limits of GCC is being hit by just the sheer amount of
code we include when boost/network.hpp is included.

It may be time for me to modularize the includes and hopefully I get
some motivation to do that *soon*. ;)

I'll add issues to the implementation -- if you have any issues and
feel like logging them in please feel free to do so (and this applies
to everyone too: http://github.com/mikhailberis/cpp-netlib/issues).

Have a good one and I hope this helps!
