Description
Discussion here: http://community.elgg.org/pg/forum/topic/868053/18-the-rewrite-test-failed-error-resolved/
Main points:
- User didn't have curl extension.
- Rewrite test worked when checked manually.
- User had fopen set to true.
- Apache 2.2.10 on Windows Vista
- PHP 5.2.17 (with safe_mode = Off) This is the VC6 x86 Thread Safe version.
There are enough features that require curl that I'm comfortable making it a checked-for requirement in 1.9. For 1.8, investigate why the fallback doesn't work.

I've seen this before and thought it was caused by a firewall. The solution that I prefer is making it possible to check through JavaScript.
