Hi Colin,

Weird. Shouldn't make a difference if the URL is remote or not.

Could you please try this instead:

$url = 'http://www.domain.com';
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,$timeout);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
$error = curl_error($ch);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if($data === false) {
    $data = $error;
}
curl_close($ch);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";

If that doesn't fetch anything, it at least should give a more
descriptive error message.
