Issue description

I'm deploying an app to Google App Engine standard environment, PHP 5.5, but I'm encountering the following issue when making any request through the Braintree PHP library:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'google\appengine\runtime\CurlLiteOptionNotSupportedException' with message     'Option 10065 is not supported by this curl implementation.' in /base/php_experiment_runtime/sdk/google/appengine/runtime/CurlLite.php:487

I did set up the library specifying no gzip responses, as indicated here.

Braintree\Configuration::environment('production');
Braintree\Configuration::merchantId('XXX');
Braintree\Configuration::publicKey('XXX');
Braintree\Configuration::privateKey('XXX');
Braintree\Configuration::acceptGzipEncoding(false);

It appears however that the problem is caused by line 133 in Braintree\Http:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, $this->getCaFile());

The cUrl lite implementation provided by GAE does not support CURLOPT_CAINFO. I did try to use CURLOPT_CAPATH instead, as suggested in the PHP documentation on [cUrl][2], but then I got an Authorization error from Braintree.

Also commenting out the line where CURLOPT_CAINFO is results in an Authorization error.

I've also submitted a question on Stackoverflow.

Turns out that we need to use the full cUrl library (requires billing being enabled on GAE).

I suggest that in the readme of the library it is specified that, on GAE, in the php.ini file the following line must be included extension = "curl.so".

It would also be worth mentioning in the readme of the library that the following line won't work: google_app_engine.enable_curl_lite = “1”, even if commenting out the line CURLOPT_CAINFO in Braintree\Http.

Thanks for the feedback @ghego1! I've updated the README to include this information with a link to this issue.
