[Plugin: Pretty Link] Workaround for CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION error

The CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option was causing an error to display because of how MediaTemple is locking things down. Added a clause to use file_get_contents() with an URL wrapper if they’re enabled. Thought I’d suggest it as an option.

In PrliUrlUtils.php:

function curl_read_remote_file($url)
  {
  	if(ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
  		$data = file_get_contents($url);
  		return $data;
  	}
    else if(function_exists('curl_init'))
    {
      $ch = curl_init();

      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

      $data = curl_exec($ch);

      curl_close($ch);

      return $data;
    }

    return false;
  }
