You will also need to enable building with libcurl or none of that will 
matter. That means adding "--with-libcurl" to the config_opts if you're 
using configure/make, or "-Dlibcurl=enabled" to the meson_opts if you're 
using meson.

Since this is branch-specific, you need to do it something like this at 
the bottom of your config file:


if ($branch eq 'HEAD' || $branch ge 'REL_18')
{
         push @{$conf{config_opts}}, '--with-libcurl';
         push @{$conf{meson_opts}}, '-Dlibcurl=enabled';
}
