[php-maint] Bug#680260: php5-curl: Fails when setting CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE to empty string, cookies disabled.

Package: php5-curl
Version: 5.4.4-2
Severity: important

According to PHP manual for the curl_setopt function [1] this is how
the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option works:

===
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE     The name of the file containing the cookie
data. The cookie file can be in Netscape format, or just plain
HTTP-style headers dumped into a file. If the name is an empty string,
no cookies are loaded, but cookie handling is still enabled.
===

But if I pass NULL or '' to this option curl_setopt fails and cookie
handling is not
enabled.

I detected this problem when Drupal 7's Simpletest failed. I will post
another message
to this bug with a link to the issue on drupal.org with more details.

Thanks.
