please document that it isn't just enough to have curl installed on the server you need the php extension installed and configured in php.ini. This would have saved me a couple hours.

You can install the curl.module which is light and will tell you if this is installed - a quick fix, and simple for new users (who admittedly are probably not using Unfuddle).

Great, thanks! I'll just add that as a dependency then.

Jody - it's a good idea, but it's not technically a dependency - I would advise that you add a note that it can be installed, say for example as a "suggested module"? :)

HTH

BTW can you ping me on twitter? I can't find you :p (@NikLP)

Further to that, actually the curl module includes libcurlemu-1.04 (for some reason) which I think will try to get you out of a sticky situation if curl isn't installed (from what I can gather), so this is definitely a potential plus for the less technical people or those with shared hosting (the poor, deluded fools ;)

The dev version now uses Unfuddle API module and no longer needs curl.
