WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.curl_curl_getinfo

curl curl getinfo

The plugin uses raw cURL functions instead of the WordPress HTTP API.

medium weight

Why It Shows Up

Plugin Check found `curl_*` calls in plugin code.

Why It Matters

The WordPress HTTP API handles transports, proxies, SSL behavior, filters, and host compatibility more consistently than raw cURL.

How to Fix

  • Replace simple cURL requests with `wp_remote_get()` or `wp_remote_post()`.
  • Handle `WP_Error`, status codes, timeouts, and response body parsing explicitly.
  • If a bundled library uses cURL internally, keep it isolated and avoid passing unchecked user input into requests.
