Head.c: In function 'http_head_req':
Head.c:55: warning: implicit declaration of function 'hstrerror'
Head.c:58: error: 'struct hostent' has no member named 'h_addr'

it's times like this when i wish i knew c++...

current status: no clue what's causing that error. i've contacted the current
upstream developer.

man netdb.h says:

       The <netdb.h> header shall define the hostent structure  that  includes
       at least the following members:


              char   *h_name       Official name of the host.
              char  **h_aliases    A pointer to an array of pointers to
                                   alternative host names, terminated by a
                                   null pointer.
              int     h_addrtype   Address type.
              int     h_length     The length, in bytes, of the address.
              char  **h_addr_list  A pointer to an array of pointers to network
                                   addresses (in network byte order) for the host,
                                   terminated by a null pointer.

This isn't c++, this is just using struct members that aren't guaranteed to
exist.  There needs to be a configure test or something here and #ifdefs, or
refactoring of the code.

I and a friend tried for a while a week or two ago to fix it and this is what we
found, although we didn't get it to work.

There doesn't really seem to be much of a desire for this package, and there
haven't been updates for a while. I haven't heard back from the developer, so I
think I'm going to reorphan this.

Ok, I'm going to block it from dist-f9, so that it has to be fixed before it
comes back into the distro.
