News Post for Curl being closed?

[chewett]

Where exatly is the post where it says curl is being disabled? i have looked but cant actually find it in the news and announcements forum

Im probably just being blind.

Hopefulyl the point will clarify the second point of, can it be activated for certain users or domains?

curl is not disabled. There previously was a block on outgoing port 80 due to proxy abuse, but it has since been lifted. Note that CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is disabled, however, and that cannot be enabled.

Oh thats great! My curl script wasnt working, and searched around and found alot of posts referenceing an announcement that i couldnt find, and port 80 being blocked for places.

Thanks for your help.
