Description: ------------ In PHP 7.4 calling get_magic_quotes_runtime() will trigger a warning/notice, in future versions it'll be removed. Messages like this will appear in the error log: Notice: Function get_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in [path]/HTTP/Request2.php:935 This is the code in question: // magic_quotes_runtime may break file uploads and chunked response // processing; see bug #4543. Don't use ini_get() here; see bug #16440. if ($magicQuotes = get_magic_quotes_runtime()) { set_magic_quotes_runtime(false); } magic quotes have been deprecated for a long time, according to the docs [1] since PHP 5.4 this function always returns false. Thus for all currently supported versions and several versions back this code is basically a noop. I recommend removing it. I'm attaching a patch, if you prefer I can also create a pull request on your github repo. [1] https://www.php.net/get_magic_quotes_runtime

Added patch remove-obsolete-magic-quotes-function.

Dropped magic_quotes_runtime handling in git: https://github.com/pear/HTTP_Request2/commit/bb46468105e00647faf593f14f933bc09cb3f54b
