MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch https://site.org/word/?feed=rss2 (HTTP Response: )

Hmm… Im getting this Magpie error when trying to load my page… The strange thing is, that if I hit reload then I will see my parsed rss feed…

MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch https://mysite.org/word/?feed=rss2 (HTTP Response: )

The code im using to grab the rss is:

<?php include('magpie/rss_fetch.inc');

error_reporting(E_ERROR);

$rss = fetch_rss('https://mysite.org/word/?feed=rss2');
if ($rss) {
  $items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);
  foreach ($items as $item )
 {   echo '<li><a href="'.$item['link'].'">'.$item['title'].'</a> - '.date("j M", strtotime($item['pubdate'])).'</li>';  }
}
else
{
  echo '<h2>Error:</h2><p>'.magpie_error().'</p>';
}
// Restore original error reporting value
@ini_restore('error_reporting');
?>

can it be cache related?? Becouse I have been experimenting with the cache dir, cus it didnt update immediately, so i changed the cache dir in fetch.inc to, and then updated it immediately…

define('MAGPIE_CACHE_DIR', 'https://www.mysite.org/magpie/cache/');

Please, is there anyone who has a clue???
