. I am offended..

That is your choice.

How often do you have to read pages and pages of a thread?

Surprisingly, far too often, and generally it is because I'm seeking the solution to someone elses problem.

No, my time is not more valuable than yours - that is unless you don't get paid for doing that.

I don't get paid. period. Something I need to rectify very soon, else I won't be around to abuse ... err, help anyone anyway...

My bill to my client rises when I spend that much time on a particular thread and I do care about that.

My clients don't seem to value my time at all (ok, there are a number of exceptions to this rule)

I said I had tried the curltester program - of course on the server.

As a developer you should know that it wouldn't be safe for me to assume this was rhe case.

I'm not an idiot.

We all make mistakes and/or overlook the obvious at times. If I took the opposite approach and assumed you did everything RIGHT then you either wouldn't be having a problem, or the problem is inexplicable, so rightly or wrongly I assume that when things go wrong for just one (perhaps two) people, then they have doen something different, or their is something 'not normal' about their setup.

And I said it worked -

People lie. Often. Do you think I just invented my sarcastic streak just for you? No, it is a 'skill' that I've developed over many many years of dealing with customer problems.

it gave me the results almost identical to the results you stated were correct in the parts of the thread I did read.

As you know, this is a long thread, with the bulk of the content being my replies to other people. Until recently I used to follow all new posts and subsbribed to several different zencart forums, as well as a number of non zencart forums.. Type my name into google and I seem to occupy the 1st 10 pages or so - I can't remember everything I've said to everyone. I can make guesses and assumptions (as I did in my 1st response to you), but rather than clarify if these were correct or not you choose to be offended at my apparent sarcasm.

As that section was the only section that mentioned that error, I assumed the likelihood of there being more on the subject was low.

You are absolutely correct, because other than that one thread I can't recall any other similar ones, but as I said, I'm a prolific reader/writer and I don't remember everything about every conversation I've had.

I have even less of a memory when someone hi-jacks someone elses problem and makes it their own.

Of course it's the lastest version of the mod,

I'm NOT going to argue/dispute that, but if you only knew how many hours I've wasted trying to solve someones problem, being emphatically told those exact same words, only to discover 1) They were using an entirely different program/module, or 2) It was the latest version when they installed it five years ago.

For reference, V2.0.7 is the current latest, V2.0.8 should be available from the vcsweb.com site sometime tomorrow evening. (The upgrade has another courier added).

and it is the lastest version of zen cart.

As above, these words mean nothing to me. As a developer I'm surprised that you haven't been a LOT more explicit with you fault reporting.

Now let's not waste any more time with unnecessary comments.

OK, as long as you don't expect me to do all the work and research, and perhaps try to be a little more explicit with versions and other details.

url: http://regimental-books.com.au/curltester.php

Unless you relocated/removed it, this is an invalid URL (404 page not found error). No biggy, I found the script anyway, and yes, you are correct, it does seem to be all ok.....

Now, although once again I need to show my mistrust it is something that needs to be checked/tested/verified.

First, I am currently *assuming* your problem is still with the installation and not the operation of it, correct?

If so, you also stated that you made the same change as previously discussed to bypass this connectivity test during installation and it made no difference for you, Also correct?

If so, then I'm am at a totally and complete loss as to where to go from here, because any further testing/checking is going to require the module to be installed... And negating those tests with the aforementioned modifications should allow it to be installed. I can't see why it doesn't work for you... As a developer, perhaps you can think of something I've missed? Would you be offended if I asked you to double check? The installation code really isn't difficult to follow - In fact even deleting the 'exit' commands that follow the failed checks will allow the install to procede.

AFTER it is installed, you should see an 'opost multiqote' icon in the admin section.. if not, then we have a firewall issue (you server or ours). If the ico shows, then we are back into cURL territory. (we need to divide and conquer)

Happy hunting,
Rod
