Sparrow.js and newer Node versions

[Jon Kneller]

I tried to install sparrow.js today (on a Mac with Yosemite) and noticed that I couldn't get it working with Node 0.12.0 - httprequest seems to have broken, and is deprecated:

npm WARN deprecated httpsync@0.0.8: This module no longer work, please use urllib-sync instead.

I later get the following error, among others, when running npm install sparrow.js:

In file included from ../src/main.cc:1:
../src/./curl.h:11:31: error: expected class name
class NodeCurl : public node::ObjectWrap {
                              ^
../src/./curl.h:16:45: error: unknown type name 'Arguments'; did you mean 'v8::internal::Arguments'?
        static Handle<Value> request (const Arguments&);
                                            ^~~~~~~~~
                                            v8::internal::Arguments

The install worked fine when I reverted to Node 0.10.38. Are there plans to support later versions of Node?

@knellr - I'm looking into this, and will let you know as soon as possible. Thanks for using sparrow.

was there any solution on this ticket ?
I am also getting same error - but not at all related to sparrowJS (am not installing sparrowJS) (posting here as error is same)
problem seems specific to some other issue..
