phoning home for updates

[ispcomm]

I just discovered that each time the admin logs in the ispcp panel, a call is made to http://www.ispcp-control.net to check for updates.

While I'm not contrary to this, I'd like to have an option in ispcp to turn this feature off because I don't like the idea of phoning ispcp-control every time I log in a server.

Also, when the ispcp-control web server is busy, there's a significant delay during the login process (that's the way I discovered it). The following code

Code:

$timeout = 2;
        $old_timeout = ini_set('default_socket_timeout', $timeout);
        $dh2 = @fopen($last_update, 'r');
        ini_set('default_socket_timeout', $old_timeout);

is not actually setting the timeout to 2 seconds (fastcgi-php4).
Also, on production servers I disallow the URI parts of fopen etc, because they're a serious security risk in shared hosting env.

shall we put an option in ispcp??
