[cpp-netlib-devel] Exception of http client connection without network

[Steve O. <st...@so...>]

Hi Dean, I am now back, still jet lagged :) Anyway as I was re-familiarizing myself with the code I noticed that if the user has no
network and tries to use the http client they get an exception and the http client quits.

I found this out when looking into how to implement the retry on connection failure feature.

At this point I have not gone further to root out the cause because a question arose in the process. Should the http client be implemented with all client connections being made under a try/catch block? Or should the http client handle these kind of situations internally?  Or is this a bug in the http client.

I am using version 0.8 with visual C++ 2010.
