      1) To aid in testing install this tool_curlmanager plugin which implements the callback:

      git clone git@github.com:catalyst/moodle-tool_curlmanager.git admin/tool/curlmanager
      

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

      php testcurl.php 

      3) Visit this report page

      http://moodle.local/admin/tool/curlmanager/report.php

      4) Confirm you see both the original url ford.com and www.ford.com which is the url it redirected to as both urls should pass through the security helper

      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';
