Doesn't work without cURL extension

Wilson29thIDWilson29thID New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Just wanted to post this here in case anyone else runs into the same issue - I installed the plugin and users were getting a blank page / 500 error when they clicked the register->submit button. This was because I didn't have the php5-curl extension installed.

I would suggest either adding the requirement to the plugin page or switching to file_get_contents() instead of cURL.

Thanks!

    file_get_contents is unlikely to work for this under many security setups, it is not advisable. I think curl requirement is reasonable. Only problem is there isn't anything like composer.json to tell of requirement like this.

    There is a programmatic way to put a check in, but it is deep magic. ;)

    grep is your friend.

    @x00, I was just thinking of putting it in the plugin description as you would installation instructions
