Unable to add file from remote url [#2599110]

Adding images from a remote source with media internet doesn't work.
Could replicate on a clean Drupal 7.41 installation with media 7.x-2.0-beta1 and file entity 7.x-2.0-beta2.
Also happens with the last dev version.

Errors follow:

I'm observing the same failure that the OP described, using the same versions of D7, Media and File Entity.

The lack of activity tell me that this is not a common problem. I would take a long and hard look at your PHP settings/permissions. Your private server, shared server with special settings enabled etc.

After moving my page where the error occured to a new server the problem has vanished.

Therefore some server settings should be responsible.
