Why is not secure allow to access to resources with URIs like “http://example.com/badcode.txt“?
What means non-file-based?

thx

You must mean allow_url_fopen. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any valid security reason to disallow this.
allow_url_include is an option that it’s better to have disabled, in case you have an error in your scripts that uses user input to build a path of an include path. Honestly, that shouldn’t be done ever, but the settings can mitigate some damage (it won’t hurt).
