What does WP default to if cURL is not enabled

  • Hi,

    I was working on my project and having issues with cURL, my version of PHP and our proxy. While trying to debug cURL, I’ve completely deleted the cURL extension from PHP.

    Now that cURL is not enabled, everything (install/update of plugins, RSS feeds on the dashboard, things that were previously not working) is working fine.

    So I guess some other way of getting external HTTP was used instead of cURL. What is this other way ?

    Is there a way to force this (working) way in WP instead of using cURL (while cURL is enabled) ?

    Thanks for your answers.

    From the source :

    The order for blocking requests is cURL, Streams, and finally Fsockopen.

    Now to find a way to block the cURL transport.

    Thanks.

    It seems I may be able to use the Core Control Plugin to disable the cURL transport.

    Waiting for my sys admin guy to reactivate cURL to see if it works.

    Thanks.

    Confirmed to be working on my local test platform.

    Be aware you’ll still need to set your proxy informations if you have one. Otherwise, you’ll not be able to add a new plugin (at least in my case).

    Thanks.
