Clearly it is trying to load the file hence the stream and CURL messages. But as you have discovered here, SP does not do this. Why would it? It is a simple link.
So you do really need to look at other environmental issues at play here. What other Wp plugins do you have active?
That’s the mystery. My last test (the local one) was a fresh install of WP and all I did was add SP. I made no changes at all to either WP or SP. That last test has eliminated my web host from the picture completely. It doesn’t seem likely that it’s something on my computer causing the problem since 2 other people confirmed the problem. Plus, it doesn’t happen for me on this site.
Do you have any suggestions for how I might go about finding the cause? I know less than nothing about php or I would get in there and add some debugging code. Is it even possible to set break-points and single step?
No. I normally use Suffusion. I didn’t change anything in the test installation from the defaults so the theme is TwentyEleven.
And I’m seeing different behaviour today. Linking the thinkbroadband files works, but it’s still failing on links to files from my own site. I changed nothing at all from yesterday to today.
Thanks Steve. I was just about to reply. Unfortunately, that didn’t work.
I’ve set up a basic test install (just WP and SP) and opened it to guest posting, and I’ll try and get a few friends from around the world to test it. I’d appreciate it if anyone here could also give it a go for me.

If it posst okay, I’ll know because I’ll see the post, If it doesn’t, can you please let me know, either here or there.
I want to eliminate all doubt that it’s something to do with my computer or ISP. I need multiple tests because it does occasionally work for me.
And I’ve had one friend report back the same thing. I think that means I can eliminate my computer and ISP and concentrate at the other end.
Actually, I just remembered I have some web space with my ISP. They probably don’t have php or DB, but I’ll look into it.
i think I can say that we are both eager to hear anything you might discover…
I’ve been unable to get it to fail for the last 15 minutes, but it just started failing again. I noticed that while it was working, the file itself would take a few seconds to start downloading if I clicked in the link. Makes me think that whatever is trying to access the link gives up pretty quickly if it can’t find it.
Since I have a localhost version running on xampp I’m hoping to work out how to do some debugging with xdebug. Might take me a while…
Good luck. Debugging php leaves a lot to be desired! Would be interested to know how you get on with that as well actually.
Well, I must have got it installed properly since it already gives me a bit more information. It will take me a while to understand it though.

Arrggg! I forgot to switch off oembed on the local installation. I’ll try again.
