My first post to this forum. I installed Gallery 1.5 for a couple of sites a week or two ago. They appear to be working okay. But since I noticed problems this week with another PHP-based program due to allow_url_fopen being turned off by my hosting service on April 20, I'm wondering if anyone can conform that Gallery 1.5 is "clean" on this issue -- that it does NOT have any issues with allow_url_fopen being off?

[I notice in the code that there're a few lines like: if (!$id) $id = @fopen("http://$url", "rb"); and if (!$id) $id = @fopen("$url/", "rb");]

Gallery will work fine with allow_url_fopen turned off. There will be some features that you won't be able to use (such as 'upload image from url'), but you shouldn't see any problems.
