Curl in Chrome browser - RobertShiplett - 12-03-2012
With the latest update to either Chrome or Curl, my Curl applets ceased to run with the symptom of undetected plugin.
Since Chrome is not listing the plugin ( wise Google considers it a "seldom used plugin" ?!? ) I have had to go to the inner URL
chrome://plugins/
and set the Curl plugins to ALWAYS RUN
Note : they were NOT disabled even on that page !
Unlike Java, the user gets no notice that permission is required and no "Kodak-gray-puzzle-piece" came up to request permission as in the case of say, Ad_be Fl_sh, under my Chrome settings.
Should we add this to a note for first-time downloaders ?
RE: Curl in Chrome browser - Gerry22 - 01-10-2013
Is cURL outputting the user agent string exactly the same as your browser?
Reason i ask is yahoo are known for not liking some browsers and if they
can't recognise a browser (eg curl screws up the name or puts in a line
terminator) then their configuration might not want to serve you /
cURL.
They don't like Seamonkey at all and refuse to allow it access to the new yahoo.
