[TYPO3-v4] Using t3lib_div::getUrl() also for xml.gz files from Extension Manager?

Thanks for your explanations.

Hmm, 403 error...

IMO it's indeed a PHP bug (at least in the ZendServer distribution). As 
far as I can tell the requisites are fine. At least I couldn't spot any 
significant difference between the servers where it works and those 
where it doesn't.

It would be good IMO, but it should happen after trying to test reading 
with XMLReader. It's a weird bug, but it's a pain, because it prevents 
us from using most of the new EM on some servers...

Cheers
