Detailed Description

Security helper for the curl class.

This class is intended as a base class for all curl security helpers. A curl security helper should provide a means to check a URL to determine whether curl should be allowed to request its content. It must also be able to return a simple string to explain that the URL is blocked, e.g. 'This URL is blocked'.

Curl security helpers are currently used by the 'curl' wrapper class in lib/filelib.php.

This class depends on:

• nothing.
