Issue with CurlEngine? [solved]

Using Neos & Flow Flow App Development
1

Hi!

Simple, dumb question: I have problems using the CurlEngine.
When I try to instanciate a CurlEngine like this:

$rEng = new \TYPO3\Flow\Http\Client\CurlEngine();

I get an exception

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER - assumed ‘CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER’

The same problem occurs when I try to inject it like this

     /**
     * @Flow\Inject
     * @var \TYPO3\Flow\Http\Client\CurlEngine
     */
    protected $browserRequestEngine;

(as discribed here: http://flowframework.readthedocs.io/en/stable/TheDefinitiveGuide/PartIII/Http.html )

This caused by the “protected $options array” of that class.
But nobody else seems to get this error!?
My PHP version is 5.6.28 in CLI mode.

Ok, solved by accident: package php5-curl was not installed on that server (DEBIAN). …

But there seems to be one issue: the framework didn’t notice the fact php5-curl is not installed.

Well, it’s somewhat optional (as in, only when you use the curl engine) as it is not used in in core itself, therefore we have no check/requirement.
