Summary2064: Major problems on SSL sites without PHP cURL extension
DescriptionIf the PHP cURL extension is not installed, then Composr can get into an infinite loop of HTTP requests, causing major server problems (until the loop is automatically terminated by the server software).

This only happens on SSL sites. It is due to fall-back to a downloader that could cause this loop.

The vast majority of professional sites do have cURL, and the majority of non-professional sites do not have SSL, hence which this has only just been found.

Fixed in git commit e3a4fb3 (https://github.com/chrisgraham/Composr/commit/e3a4fb3 - link will become active once code pushed to github)

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) have been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
