HTTPAPI update
When I update library LIBHTTP to the new version, do I need to recompile the program that use it?

Re: HTTPAPI update
No.
If you reconfigure HTTPAPI to use SSL when it previously did not use SSL, then you would have to re-bind the calling applications. (Which is often done together with recompiling them.) But, aside from that situation, it is not necessary to re-bind (or re-compile) older programs. HTTPAPI is designed to remain backward compatible so that they'll "just work."
