Public bug reported:

According to config-defaults.php, if you set $CFG->urlsecret to null,
you should be able to access the installer and upgrader without needing
to add a urlsecret param to your URL. This is a useful feature for
development environments.

However, it currently doesn't work on the latest HEAD in master.

To replicate:

1. Add "$cfg->urlsecret = null;" to your config.php file
2. Try to do a new install of Mahara through the web browser

Expected result: Installation runs through
Actual result: You get this message:

Mahara: Invalid Parameter
A required parameter is missing or malformed

The 'urlsecret' parameter contains invalid characters
