I have some code requiring HTTP (and thus MbedTLS) which I need to run on a Linux machine with glib 2.12.  
I had to pin the MbedTLS version to 0.6.1 because of some glib incompatibilities ([https://github.com/JuliaWeb/MbedTLS.jl/issues/170](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/MbedTLS.jl/issues/170)).

Now MbedTLS passes it tests, but the tests of HTTP fail telling me that MbedTLS is not installed properly. How is this possible? I have also this issues after restarting Julia. I use Julia 1.0.0.

```julia

MbedTLS sometimes fails to compile on my win 10 pc whenever I do a package installation or upgrade. However IJulia is still running fine on Julia 1.0. I wonder whether and how MbedTLS affects me.
