[TYPO3-dev] mirrors.xml.gz file includes HTTP headers, curl settings bug?

[Paul Buechler]

Hello there,

I have the problem that the TER update fails. We figured out that the 
mirrors.xml.gz file is the problem and that it includes a HTTP Header 
which looks like this:

<snip>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:25:51 GMT
Server: Apache
Last-Modified: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:40:36 GMT
ETag: "fa5de6-109-52a2dbe316ea2"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 265
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/x-gzip

BINARY DATA...
</snip>


After a lot of testing we could solve the problem by editting this file: 
typo3_src-7.6.4/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Utility/GeneralUtility.php.
So we changed the following line, that it won't include the header:


//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, !$followLocationSucceeded || 
$includeHeader ? 1 : 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);


Is this a known problem and is there a better solution than manually 
editing files?


Best regards,
Paul
