I have tested this item ✅ successfully on 2f12076

Tested with JBT 2.4.1 php8.5-rc

  • Before the PR seen curl_close() is deprecated in joomla-54/administrator/log/php.log with creating Scheduled Task 'GET Request'' and also the task failed with red JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
  • Applying PR with graft full package
    • ✅ No curl_close() is deprecated anymore in PHP log
    • ⚠️ Scheduled task with 'GET Request' still fails, it is expected regarding the other remaining deprecations: 
      PHP Deprecated:  Method ReflectionMethod::setAccessible() is deprecated since 8.5, as it has no effect in /var/www/html/administrator/components/com_scheduler/src/Traits/TaskPluginTrait.php on line 300
PHP Deprecated:  Using null as an array offset is deprecated, use an empty string instead in /var/www/html/libraries/src/Document/HtmlDocument.php on line 533
PHP Deprecated:  Using null as an array offset is deprecated, use an empty string instead in /var/www/html/libraries/src/Document/HtmlDocument.php on line 534

Remaining deprecations should be fixed when fixed in the 5.4-dev branch and merged up to 6.0-dev.
