Oxid install claims that missing cUrl module does not affects the shop behavior.
Well i’m glad to report that admin fails to render itself after PHP dies on cUrl calls.
/application/controllers/admin/login.php:
$oEvenHandler->onAdminLogin( oxRegistry::getConfig()->getShopId() );
/core/oxsystemeventhandler.php:
public function onAdminLogin( $sActiveShop )
//Checks if newer versions of modules are available.
//Will be used by the upcoming online one click installer.
//Is still under development - still changes at the remote server are necessary - therefore ignoring the results for now
Actually it does what it says, ignores the results(!)
But not in the way it was meant to.
