[libRETS-users] Getting "curl error #7 (couldn't connect toserver)" error from live web server (but not localhost)

[Tech at ZolMedia.com]

I know that the server name and port are correct because they work when run
from http://localhost. They just don't work when run from the live server. 

Not sure what Wireshark is, but I assume you have to install and run it on
the web server with the problem, right?  I can't do that on the live web
server because it's a remote shared host. 

Would I also get this error if the shared host was blocking outgoing
connections?

This means that the server name and port refused the connection.  The  
server name or port could be incorrect.  Or the server actually  
blocked it.  No way to tell, really, as the result is all the same.   
You could break out Wireshark, and check out what's going on at the  
TCP/IP layer.
