    Default CURL Requirements for PayPal Express

    I am attempting to install the PayPal Express Checkout. Listed in the requirements follows:
    Requirements:

    *CURL is used for bidirectional communication with the gateway, so must be active on your hosting server (if you need to use a CURL proxy, set the CURL proxy settings under Admin->Configuration->My Store.)

    HERE is my DILEMA

    The first sentence in the requirements has me uncertain about my requirements. Please let me try to explain in the form of a question: Do the requirements mean I must have a CURL proxy? Or does they meant mean that being active is enough and I do not have to use the proxy settings.

    CURL is active on my host. I use phptest to determine what PHP capability is on my hosting company (Loose Foot).
    Here is what php has to say:
    [FONT=Arial]module_curl[/FONT][FONT=Arial]cURL support enabled[/FONT][FONT=Arial]cURL Information libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3 [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Thank you all again![/FONT]Respectfully, John Underwood

    It means that cURL must be active,
    and that if you use a host like godaddy then you have to setup the proxy info,

    Looks like you are local so shouldnt be an issue

    Merlin!

    You are the magician for sure!

    Merlin - Thanks for the interpretation and thank you for being so quick on the response.

    An added comment - my client got a note from PayPal the other day and they love you guys. You all have put ZEN CART on the map. It really "goes to show you" that your team walks the talk.

    And one more thing...
    I ordered the new book "e-Start Your Web Store with ZEN CART" using LULU.COM - and I used the cheapest shipping method. I RECEIVED MY BOOK IN LESS THAN 5 DAYS... to rite down hyar in South Carolina. It is a very good book, easy to read, easy to understand... and it proves once again that you folks have your stuff t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r!!!!

    Thank you again... you make the hard stuff more fun and a darned sight easier.

    Respectfully,

    John Underwood
