[xml] RE: libxml2-2.5.11 build issue on Win2000

[<Eric Zurcher csiro au>]

Goutham,

I don't have a copy of 2.5.11 at hand, but I seem to recall that one of the releases around that time had a problem with a couple of missing "#ifdef LIBMXL_HTTP_ENABLED" /"#endif" directive pairs. The various xmlIOHTTP* functions should have been inside LIBXML_HTTP_ENABLED blocks in libxml2.def.src. You could either
try fixing this, or compiling with HTTP support enabled (which should pull in the "missing" functions).
