Sometimes link checker returns erroneous server not found error for images pathed as absolute rath than relative.

Although my version of CURL is 7.12.1. I will try and get my host to upgrade.

The URL checks out OK when I run it through the plugin here, so whatever causes the false positive is probably specific to your server, not the plugin in general.
The most common causes for this sort of problem are:
* PHP running in "safe mode".
* PHP running in "open_basedir".
* Old version of CURL installed.
* Misconfigured hotlink protection scripts/server settings.You can check the first three by clicking the "Show debug info" link in Settings -> Link Checker. It'll show a warning message if one of those issues is present.
Also, could you post the full checker log for that link? You can access the log by clicking on the contents of the "Status" column (where it shows the error message).
Note: If necessary, you can also contact me directly at whiteshadow@w-shadow.com instead of posting here.

The above link shows as server not found, but is valid.

Send me an example URL or two, I'll see if I can figure it out.
