[jira] [Created] (SOLR-2560) improve error handling for test_utf8.sh or other scripts that want to use curl

improve error handling for test_utf8.sh or other scripts that want to use curl
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: SOLR-2560
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2560
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Robert Muir
Fix For: 3.3, 4.0


when testing solr release candidate, i tried running test_utf8.sh just as part of the tests, but got an error 'Solr is not setup' even when it was actually running.

this was because i didn't actually have curl on my computer... if any scripts like test_utf8.sh or post.sh have similar handling it would be an improvement
if they could somehow check that curl exists.
