Zooomr-Plugin causes Connection timed out in PEAR.php

[superu]

The "serendipity_plugin_zooomr.php" causes an error in my pear.php on line 848.
I already searched the forum but did not find the information i was looking for: My hoster needs the information what kind of connection that plugin is trying to establish. I only know its getting the RSS-feed from zooomr:
http://de.zooomr.com/services/feeds/public_photos/?id=*****@***
but i don´t know how... Does anybody know what i should tell the support of my hoster?
Greetings, U.

Hi!

This error usually happens if your hoster uses a firewall to block access. Your firewall must allow HTTP (port 80) outgoing connections for the de.zoooomr.com URL.

They say they don´t block anything like this I´ll also ask @ zooomr, maybe they have a problem? Thanks Garvin!

Hi!

What happens when you upload a test.php file with this content:

Code: Select all

<?php
echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents('http://de.zooomr.com/services/feeds/public_photos/?id=*****@***'));
?>

and run it?

There is an xml-output:

Hi!

Okay, this works, then it must be something else in the zooomr sidebar plugin. Remind me of it next week and I'll have a check!
