Fetching URL doesn't work

[DwB]

My problem ist that I can't fetch any picture I'd like to add to the media library. Every time it tells me that he couldn't find http://some.url.com/imagedirectory/file.jpg.
I already tried different servers but every time the same result: no media added to my library.

Using S9Y 0.7.1

This can mean that your server does not support opening URLs. PHP can be configured to have allow_url_fopen set to FALSE.

But you can try to use s9y 0.8, we have implemented an alternate fetching method which already works if your host allows outgiong socket connections, which many hosts do.
