The ozpost module doesn't check to see if cURL is installed, but it does check that it is functional and can contact the quotation servers, and if it can't IT will loudly complain that the install can't continue.

I was figuring there wouldn't be a need to duplicate the check to see if cURL is installed or not, but apparently there probably is a need.

Hi Rod - thanks for your comments. Actually, Zencart will install without CURL, no hoops or sidesteps. I've done it many times.

I do appreciate your comments in a later post suggesting a work around to solve the install issue.

FRANK. Your comments indicate you like to "Categorize People". I can tell you now I have enough experience with Zencart (6-7 years if I remember correctly) to understand what is required to install the package. Like you, I have developed many sites. I do read the warnings (and click on the links that provide additional information) and the statement I made earlier regarding the CURL warnings was correct however based on your comments, it's obvious you don't.

This screen capture confirms my earlier statement.



If you actually read the text in the popup, it advised that some payment & shipping modules require CURL to talk to to there respective servers to get real-time quotes and payment authorizations - there is no mention of installation issues, and as I haven't had any installations issues with earlier versions of the ozpost module, I personally had no issue asking for advise in this instance.

Regards
OZ
