Hi.

On line 1650 of packages/acs-tcl/tcl/utilities-procs.tcl, the variable rfd is misspelled as rdf. If you leave this, you will find you encounter an error (no such variable rfd) when trying to install or upgrade software from the repository. Fixing it will re-enable your ability to install software from the repo.

It's work in progress a new revised API for http client funcionalities. When it will be operative, old API will be deprecated.

What is missing rignt now is only the curl wrapper for backward compatibility. Honestly I couldn't dedicate much time to it lately, but I've managed to include this task in a project I am working on, so I can give it a little boost.

Refer to http://www.openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=4114386 for complete discussion on the subject.
