title: stream_socket_client is failing
body: <p>I am building a Drupal site and as part of it I need to grab content from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube using the Aggregator and Media modules. However I can't grab the content because both of these modules call the drupal_http_request function which uses the PHP stream_socket_client function which tries to open a connection to a remote socket.</p>
  
  <p>For example, when I try to grab YouTube content it uses <code>tcp://gdata.youtube.com:80</code> when trying to open a connection to YouTube. This is returning FALSE when I am building the site on university computers, yet when I am on my home machine it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas why it is not working? It seems strange as obviously the college computers can access the internet.</p>
  
  <p>Btw, IRC does not work for me either...</p>
