Exception in log when connecting to a browser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the example test
2. See selenium server logs

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No exceptions in the log. Actually I see exception on getting session 
capabilities request. See 
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2091

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

webdriver-bindings-1.0.zip Yii extension on Linux with Selenium server 2.1.

It looks like a bug on selenium server side. Or may be it only happens for 
specific version of browser, but here's how we can avoid this erro if when 
creating the new session we don't allow curl to follow redirects:

public function connect($browserName="firefox", $version="", $caps=array()) {

...

    $this->preparePOST($session, $postargs);
    curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
    curl_setopt( $this->_curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
    $response = curl_exec($session);
    $headers = explode("\r\n", $response);
    foreach ($headers as $h) {
        if (strpos($h, 'Location:') === 0) {
            $url = substr($h, strlen('Location:'));
            $this->requestURL = trim($url);
            break;
        }
    }
}

This issue is detailed here:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2091

A fix:
In file WebDriver.php, look for:

   public function connect($browserName="firefox", $version="", $caps=array()) {
...
...
...
        $this->preparePOST($session, $postargs);
        curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
ADD THIS LINE -> curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,  
array('application/json;charset=UTF-8', 'Accept: application/json'));
        $response = curl_exec($session);
        $header = curl_getinfo($session);
        $this->requestURL = $header['url'];
...
