Wordpress Amazon Plug-In Error?

[chairsba]

I am running a free hosting WordPress site and was running an Amazon plug-in that was working. I made some changes and now the plug-in throws an error message.

"Warning: file_get_contents(http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?AWSAccessKeyId= ...... : failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /home/chairsba/public_html/wp-content/plugins/amazon-product-in-a-post-plugin/inc/aws_signed_request.php on line 649"

And all my searching and working for a solution brings me to this line from the plug-in FAQ.

"Your hosting accounts php settings do not allow fopen or remote URL fopen calls to the Amazon API. This can be changed in some cases in your php.ini file..."

It was working before is there any chance this can be solved?

Thank You.

What port are you trying to access?

HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

So, apparently the request is getting to Amazon, but there is something wrong with it. ie, the ?queryString is missing something or misspelled.

What happens if you take the URL from the error message and try it in your browser?

You said you changed something, what?
