> update: actually this is not directly your fault, though you are trying to use a bb-admin function that was meant for local file access to do remote file access?

If you check the short “to do” list at the top of the plugin you’ll see that I plan to address that issue in the future. I might just copy and paste the code from that internal function and then hack in my own curl/fopen alternative function.

Explain your concerns, how do you think this would be exploited? If it can be we should patch it up.

36 downloads so far, let’s start worrying at 1,000
