This is a complete ripoff of tijs's plugin, but I've replaced the CURL library with the fopen URL wrapper. So it should work with pretty much any PHP install. Of course, it is now marginally less good.
Now I'm really going to go study. Or maybe have breakfast. But after that I'll definitely go study.
Update: I installed CURL and now I'm using Tijs's original. fsockopen() and the HTTP wrappers in PHP suck too bad.
Update 2: Now I'm using Yahoo Pipes to get it as plain RSS.

My guess is that your hosting setup doesn’t let you fopen URLs. Try a couple of other URLs and see if they have the same problem.

Thanks a lot! Make’s life a little easier (a very little, but still :-) ).

Yes. Still ironing out the various lighttpd rewrite bugs. It should work now.
