title: file_get_contents and curl doesn't work, blocked tcp port problem
body: <p>I'm trying to write a Joomla module which will parse json data from springer api. I have problem with the method &quot;file_get_contents&quot; and other replacements. My problem is that:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><code>Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.example.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network. in C:\wamp\www\modules\mod_springer\mod_springer.php on line 72</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>After some search, I found out that it may be because of my company's firewall. Is there any way to overcome this problem like changing port I'm using or using another method, or am I stuck here?</p>
  <p>Note: allow_url_fopen is enabled. I'm using wamp.</p>
