org-caldav problem: void-function url-http-options

[Julien Cubizolles]

Since a few days (maybe an emacs update) I get this error message
whenever I run org-caldav-sync. 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function url-http-options)

  (or (and (boundp (quote url-dav-patched-version)) url-dav-patched-version) (url-dav-supported-p (org-caldav-events-url)))
  (if (or (and (boundp (quote url-dav-patched-version)) url-dav-patched-version) (url-dav-supported-p (org-caldav-events-url))) nil (error "You have to either use Emacs from bzr, or the patched `url-dav' package from the org-caldav repository."))

I've been digging around a bit and url-http-options is defined in
url-http.el which is present on my system
(/usr/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/url/url-http.el.gz) so I don't understand
why it isn't found (assuming that void-function message actually means
it can't find the definition of the function).

Everything was working fine with org-caldav before and I was very happy
with it. Thanks a lot to its developper.

Julien.

Does doing a (require 'url-http) before calling org-caldav help?

Yes it does, thanks, I should have thought of it. Why has it become
necessary ?  It seems that url-http-options is called by
url-dav-supported-p, defined in url-dav.el. Shouldn't url-dav.el require
url-http.el ?

Yes, it should. Could you file a bug report about this?
