Plugin fails

    I tried to scrape a list of URLs, it failed silently. I tried to scrape a single URL and the preview showed my WP dashboard with errors instead of the URL I was trying to scrape.

    I tried to browse the plugin’s wp.org Support forum for a solution and the author spams every topic with a request to email them instead, making the support forum completely useless to anyone trying to look up an error. If I could rate this plugin 0 stars I would, but unfortunately I’m forced to give it a star it doesn’t deserve.

    Initial error appears to be on line 70 of simple_html_dom.php where an offset of -1 is given to pass to file_get_contents() on line 75. Offsets are not supported for remote files as per http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
