I did everything listed in the OP to get this running but I still get this error:

L 03/20/2012 - 1205: [SM] Unable to load extension "curl.ext": The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.

We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 SP1, and I did the MFC C++ security update and rebooted but no go.

Use x86 package and restart

Just did that, and the side-by-side error went away. Might be a good idea to make a note of that in the OP. Regardless of the Windows version being x64 or x86, the extension expects the x86 version.


Now when I try to run the gmail test from the console, it echos that it is sending, but never seems to actually send. If I try again, it tells me "Sending Email, please wait" so it thinks it is still trying to send, even 10 minutes later.

It does call the "cUrl_easy_perform_thread", but the callback never happens. I don't know if it matters, but it is running on a virtual server.

I'd like to get the content of a webpage in order to parse it later on. Is there a way to get the page's text without having to buffer it in a file? Like downloading a webpage to a string variable and getting the length?

I'm getting this error but with my GSP.

Your GSP will need to install the required redist, there is nothing you can do.

asherkin thanks, I'll look into this.

My provider (NFO) "installed x86 and x64 versions of the MSVC 2005, 2008, and 2010 libraries" on the Windows Server 2003 x64 machine that runs my Windows TF2 server. I also confirmed that they installed the security update related to KB2538242, linked in the original post.

Compiling the self test plugin and running curl_self_test outputs the following (even on a fresh install of the latest SM and MM:S snapshots):

[CURL Test #1] Get cUrl Version
[CURL Test #1] Version: libcurl/7.23.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 libssh2/1.3.0
[CURL Test #1] Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp

[CURL Test #5] download a web page & header
[CURL Test #6] download google logo for test #7
[CURL Test #8] sftp test - ftps://ftp.secureftp-test.com:990/bookstore.xml

For reference, here's the output from the identical setup on my Windows 7 machine with all Windows Update updates, and possibly a few redistributables installed as requirements for the couple games I have, after a relatively fresh reformat:

Apart from the KB2538242-related update, does this extension have any other requirements to work properly on Windows?

Regarding CS:GO compatibility... I know it hasn't been announced that it supports it yet, but thought I'd share my findings when trying to run it (for use with Updater):
