[Plugin: SEO Facebook Comment] Fatal error: Uncaught CurlException: 6: Couldn't resolve host ap

Can someone please help me with this? Basically it appears to be an issue with my shared hosting provider (Lunarpages) and facebook. My hosting support took over 3 weeks to get back to me and this is finally what they replied with:

1. Sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We have had this issue investigated and found that there is broken network between your server and Facebook network due to which plugin is not working properly and throwing errors. Unfortunately the issue was visible on Facebook network so there is nothing much we can do but we have contacted Facebook support to correct this issue as soon as possible. As to verify this, please check the traceroute result given below.

2. Multiple canned responses saying they are waiting for facebook to look into the issue

3. Several other useless suggestions they found in wordpress forums that had nothing to do with the issue.

And Finally and most importantly:
4.

On a deep investigation we were able to locate the issue. Curl was actually disabled by EasyApache and Curls is working fine. The plugin script has to be modified according to use Curls instead of curl. Hope now you have a hint to contact the plugin vendor to modify plugin for normal functioning on our servers.

I’m not sure what they mean by “Curls” I’m assuming cURL SSL?
Is there any code I can easily add to the plug in files to tell it to NOT use cURL but “cURLS” instead?

Thanks!
