If I’m reading the docs right, wp_remote_get() will return a WP_Error on failure, but not necessarily on a 404/400/403 (etc) status code from your remote server. (Though that will depend in part on what your remote server sends back if there’s an invalid request.) You can check the status code using wp_remote_retrieve_response_code().

Basically you got yourself a piece of code that blocks your PHP execution because it relies on external request wp_remote_get() to finish in order to continue.

Well here’s the solution that I came up with: // Use wp_remote_get to fetch the data $response = wp_remote_get($url); // Save the body part to a variable $zip = $data[‘body’]; // In the header info is the name of the XML or CVS file. I used preg_match to find it preg_match(“/.datafeed_([0-9]*)\../”, $response[‘headers’][‘content-disposition’], $match); // Create … Read more
