1. http_get() Fails on Some, Works on Others

Is there any way to ensure that http_get() will be able to get to a URL?

Some of my users can reach the given IP address, others cannot, and I cannot figure out why. Is it going to be a firewall issue? I'm using the HTTP protocol (port 80), which I thought was pretty universally let through security.

It could be an HTTP problem or a DNS problem*. Can they access the URL via a web browser? What is the result of http_get()?

*execute_request() calls host_by_name() before performing the actual request

Thanks, Greg. Looks like my ISP is blocking incoming port 80. I'll continue to investigate... getlost
