For the goal triggering feature, I have implemented Curl support which means that the goal.php file is read as if being accessed by a web browser, this allows the User Agent of the browser to be detected by the goal script.

Most users will not need to care about this but it is used by the Website Optimizer that is due for release next.

Now I found that it is more than just a convenience to use Curl access, it is required due to the old way being blocked by Web Hosts over security concerns regarding some scripts that could be exploited to reveal the contents of PHP files. But since Curl simulates a browser, it is only possible to see the rendered HTML of the web page being accessed.
