Re: [libmicrohttpd] Small upgrade for MHD home page

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

I've bumped the source link to actually match the last release.
I don't build the W32 binary, so I cannot help it being outdated.

Also, unlike NodeJS [1] our source build is not insane, and if you're
using MHD and you cannot build from source, it won't be of much use to
you. And for end-users, the respective operating system distribution
package manager should provide binaries anyway. As most end-users
wouldn't know how to check signatures on downloaded binaries, that's
also the only way to get them (relatively, see [2]) secure binaries.

(That doesn't matter for W32, that's a lost cause anyway.)


Happy hacking!

Christian
