My server has restricted access to the fopen, fsockopen, etc. functions to be within the local domain only. Therefore, I cannot access the contents of foreign URLs. The information I'm trying to access is at this sample URL http://cache.pando.com/soapservices/...DF310A03958AD2 which returns some data which I need in order to create a preview of a pando package.
So my question is how can I access this info if I don't have access to the fopen, fsockopen, etc. functions, I don't have htaccess priviledges or the curl library? Any suggestions?

exec("wget -O /path/to/tmp/file 'http://longurlthinger.com'");
$fh = fopen("/path/to/tmp/file", "r");

or even better, get a host that provides php with the curl library available. Limiting fopen and fsockopen is pretty common but they should have curl enabled

That would require wget and exec permissions on the server which wouldn't help me I'm afraid.
