[TYPO3-dev] Small issue with TYPO3 + PHP 5.2.4 curlopt_followlocation warning

[christian reiter]

Hello,

The function getUrl in class.t3lib_div.php sets CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION 
by default. This leads to a security warning. Configuration: MySQL 
5.0.45, PHP 5.2.4, Apache 2.2.6, Solaris 10, running in safe_mode.

The newest PHP release considers CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to be unsafe 
(wich is understandable) and disables it when running safe_mode. Earlier 
versions tolerated it even in safe mode.

I think this is perhaps an option which should only be explicitly set 
when whoever calls getURL (extension author etc) is aware of possible risks.

Greetings,

Christian
