Consider replacing fopen with curl

[broakenmedia]

I know this library has largely been abandoned but i would ask that you consider replacing the file_get_contents with a simple curl request. Many servers disable 'allow_url_fopen' in the name of security ( https://www.acunetix.com/vulnerabilities/web/php-allow_url_fopen-enabled/ ) and as such the request fails.

https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0
