http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-10/0176.html Curl: [PATCH] gtls: only call gnutls_transport_set_lowat with Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:08:56 -0700 The default lowat level for gnutls-2.12* is set to zero to avoid unnecessary system calls and the gnutls_transport_set_lowat function has been totally removed in >=gnutls-3 which causes build failures. Therefore, the function shouldn't be used except for versions that require it,
