title: issues with accessing URL with cURL
body: <p>I have this web service which returns a JSON:</p>
  
  <pre><code> http://54.246.99.134:8080/services-app/services/Users/GetConfigForMetroAndLang?metroAreaId=1&amp;langId=39
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I access it using my browser, I get my JSON and all is working OK.
  When I try to grab it with CURL or file_get_contents the page just keeps loading until :
  <strong>failed to open stream: Connection timed out</strong></p>
  
  <p>Other URLS are working great when I try to get them from the server (any other address).</p>
  
  <p>** edit **
  Thanks for the comments</p>
  
  <p>My code is very straight forward :)</p>
  
  <pre><code>$curl = curl_init('http://54.246.99.134:8080/services-app/services/Users/GetConfigForMetroAndLang?metroAreaId=1&amp;langId=39'); 
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true); 
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101       Firefox/12.0');
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); 
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); 
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);   
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   $result = curl_exec($curl); 
   print_r($result) ; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I now understand it works from a local host of one of my team mates...
  so it is probably a server / firewall issue? any direction maybe?

  <p>Would really appreciate any idea.
  Thanks!</p>
