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:

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