Warning: get_headers() [function.get-headers]: URL file-access is disabled was created by buster

Hi all,
After installing the module on a live site, I'm getting the following error above the feed:

Warning: get_headers() [function.get-headers]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in ######.com/web/modules/mod_jw_srfr/helper.php on line 347

Warning: get_headers() [function.get-headers]: This function may only be used against URLs. in #######.com/web/modules/mod_jw_srfr/helper.php on line 347

A quick search suggest that what causes this error is the fact that

the server has upgraded from PHP 4 to a newer version. As a result, the allow_url_fopen is set to OFF, which is responsible for disallowing include files to use absolute file paths.

Does the module need allow_url_fopen to be set to on? If so, is there a workaround, as this seems to be a security risk...

Or am I barking up the wrong tree? :)

Any help would be appreciated.

Update:

I have added the following lines to my .htaccess:

php_flag display_errors "0"
php_flag html_errors "0"
php_flag display_startup_errors "0"
php_flag log_errors "1"
php_flag allow_url_fopen "0"

Still no luck...
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar issue. The module works fine on my homepage in any position but on any other page prior to listing the articles in the feed I get 8 instances of the following:

Warning: get_headers() [function.get-headers]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/clarks8/public_html/modules/mod_jw_srfr/helper.php on line 347

I am running PHP v 5.2.9 and allow_url_fopen is set to 'on'

The last line in my post says that I checked that setting and that it is not the problem. Anyone have any other ideas here?

I just installed the program, and I am getting the exact same error. Has anyone figured out how to get around this?

I have this happen if I turn on SEF for my Kunena forum - not sure why, am just trouble shooting. Try turning off SEF and see what happens?
