The cURL module for PHP and Sugar

[CyberFerret]

Hi all,

Does Sugar NEED the cURL module for the scheduling to work properly? I know you have to set up the CRON jobs etc. in crontab, but is this library purely used for reporting on the CRON jobs in Sugar?

It is just that we are having a heck of a time trying to integrate cURL into our Linux box. (If anyone has any good guides as to how the heck we do this, please let me know!)

Thanks,
Devan

Curl is optional in Sugar for scheduling the job.
If your machine does not have curl support you can use either command line php or
wget command to the scheduling jobs.

cURL can also be a security hole if not set up correctly. (Some argue even if it is set up correctly) so make sure you read all the security issues if you do decide to use cURL.

We use cURL to thread job execution. However, as of 4.0.1a, the cURL requirement is more for future-proofing than a true dependency. Feel free to not compile in cURL with your php module, but don't complain when some future feature doesn't work for you j/k.

Re: compilation
what errors are you getting while compiling? In my experience it was simply a matter of getting the missing libraries in place.
