Linux shared hosting STREAMS/SOCKETS problem

TheMagician

I've build a site that uses the twitter api, unfortunately the server has a problem that is not permanent it comes and goes like the tide.

Description: firstly I've used this code:
[PHP]$twitter = file_get_contents("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=consmagic"); [/PHP]
After I noticed the problem tried using :
[PHP]$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=consmagic");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$twitter = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);[/PHP]

The error :
After debugging the error message it returns is : 400 Malformed Request (This is what the Twitter API Server returns)

The code has been tested on 3 other servers (centos 5.5, freebsd, win7) and was working fine when the blacknight server was returning the error.

The error is not caused by the code or the twitter server so this leaves only the blacknight server as the issue, please advise on this problem.
