2) Place the attached 'testcurl.php' file into your web root and run it

php testcurl.php

3) Visit this report page

Description

The use case here is allowing a plugin to instrument or replace the curl proxy security layer

Something along the lines of

$CFG->alternative_security_helper = 'tool_foo_bar';
