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

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