hi Dmitry,

i am unsure on why we did that, but it is a common misconception that
allow ulr open is insecure.

i hope that ingo can explain what was the trigger to let curl support
drop. as far as i remember it seemed that the curl support in TYPO3 CMS
is/was not that robust in the needed context of crawling the webpages.

just a small remark: while maintaining an extension edge cases are as
important as the people contributing to them. it is with great attention
that you decide to support other peoples problems. i am sure you
understand our reasoning here. :-)

please propose some hooks and you will be able to extend the solr
extension to use curl with your own means.

best greetings!
