Sent my appeal to [email protected] and I would suggest
everyone on this list does the same.
The European Union does not exactly have a good track record when it
comes to software and patents.

I was wondering why CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION requires open_basedir and
safe_mode to be turned off.
The following was found in the
changelog(http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php):
Disabled CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in curl when open_basedir or safe_mode
are enabled. (Stefan E., Ilia)
Also I read some forum posts about security restrictions blah-blah but
didn't find anything specific, unfortunately.
Can anybody explain the reasons of such a strange restriction or tell
what security issues raises CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION when open_basedir is set?

I'm guessing that it would allow CURL to follow a link if a server returned a
301 or 302 redirect.
For example, a PHP script consumes a web service or fetches a webpage from
another server, then all of a sudden that remote server sends a 301/302
redirect to a malicious page, CURL would then follow the redirect instead of
returning an error.
If a server admin is paranoid enough to use safe_mode, they probably wouldn't
want that to happen (note saying that being paranoid is a bad thing, but I've
been managing PHP systems for years without safe_mode or open_basedir and never
had an issue, but I can see why hosting providers may enable it.)
I can't see any conceivable benefit to this restriction when using
open_basedir, as I thought that related to the local file system - unless CURL
can use file:// URLs to access the local system?

That's the problem.
I always use open_basedir (not all the sites on my servers are safe
enough). And that so called security restriction just makes me fury
(unless I don't see significant reasons for it). So, in order not to
irritate my nervous system every time somebody asks me to unset
open_basedir for CURL I decided to find the roots of that PHP
developers' action.
And I don't think it's related to the local file system: there is
another option that restricts protocols while redirecting,
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS, which allows by default all the protocols
supported by CURL, but file and scp. So this kind of restriction (do not
follow file:// while redirecting) would make sense, but not disabling
FOLLOWLOCATION at all. Either they had a better reason or they messed up
a bit :)
Still trying to find a better explanation.

Bob:
I've purchased and read literally scores of programming books and all
have value. In fact, I've never read a book that I didn't learn
something from.
However, IMO the best thing to learn in the beginning is that php
does not live in a vacuum. It is a server-side programming language
that cannot function to it's fullest without other languages.
As such, the best book I've read lately has been "PHP, MySQL &
Javascript" by Nixon published by O'Reilly. You can buy it on Amazon
for less than $27.00 and it's well worth the price.
Cheers,
tedd

CURL works (remote and local)
file_get_contents() doesn't work (remote or local).

What is the value for
"allow_url_fopen<http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen>"
in your php.ini? It should be 1.
