function redirect_can_redirect

Check the ability to perform redirects with the current request context.

This function checks the following conditions:

• If the PHP entry point is the root index.php file.
• If PHP is not running as CLI.
• If the site is not offline or in install/update mode.
• If the current page is not an admin page (check can be disabled).
• If the current request does not have any POST data since a redirect may interrupt form submission.

Return value

bool: TRUE if redirects can be performed, or FALSE otherwise.
