As far as I can see this could only possibly have an effect on the use
of external binds, is that correct?

I wasn't aware of the curl dependency introduced there, but I think we
can probably do some more verbose kind of failure case. I'm loathe to
suggest curl as a dependency for such a minor piece of functionality.

Adding a setup.php test for it would be good though.

Cheers,
Andrew.

That is where I found it, and with the little curl command I just put in
the wiki adding them is easy as pi(e).

That, and maybe a if (function_exists("curl_init")) just before when
that is called. Or put that in a curl_exists() so it can be called from
other locations, and then abort nicely and log the message.

Currently it will just fail, strangely enough _without_ an error message
about an undefined function in the error log which made this a bit
though to find, but putting error_log() statements all over the place
tracked it down quite nicely ;)

Greets,
