Quick question that hopefully has a quick answer.

We are setting up our 9 test server, and trying to mimic what will actually be used in production. In doing so, we are enabling and disabling certain functionality. And my question is this:

I know that the PHP API requires cURL to be installed and running, but for security reasons, we would like to disable allow_url_fopen.

Does anyone know if the API will be adversely affected if this is disabled?

Hi,

I do not think you should be adversely affected by disabling this.

Best bet is to disable it and then test. Seeing as this is a test server you won't be affecting mission critical sites.
