Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.According to the Drupal system requirements for PHP it is preferable to disable allow_url_fopen in the PHP configuration. This leads to the following error and broken images from the staticmap module.
Warning: file_get_contents(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0
The solution is to use drupal_http_request() instead of file_get_contents() as per the attached patch.

rudiedirkx commentedYou should at least check if
drupal_http_request()returns something useful. It might not even contain->data. The calling function should also check if it worked, and if it didn't, not use the cached file.
