"CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION" preventing the response from being returned

[ayhid]

Hello,
In some cases when the php safe mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set on the server, the curl_setopt_array cannot set the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option.
It also prevents the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option from being set as it's defined after in the following array:
$curlOptions += array( CURLOPT_URL => $url, CURLOPT_PORT => $this->options['http_port'], CURLOPT_USERAGENT => $this->options['user_agent'], CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => $this->options['timeout'] );

In my use case I just commented out the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION line and it seems to work very well.
I am not sure if it will be ever needed with echonest responses.
