I was wondering why CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION requires open_basedir and safe_mode to be turned off.

The following was found in the changelog(http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php):

Disabled CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in curl when open_basedir or safe_mode are enabled. (Stefan E., Ilia)

Also I read some forum posts about security restrictions blah-blah but didn't find anything specific, unfortunately.

Can anybody explain the reasons of such a strange restriction or tell what security issues raises CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION when open_basedir is set?
