When the URL is not available, because of a typo or heavy traffic, a nasty error message is displayed. I also fear there might be a severe penalty regarding speed when saving the node, especially when there are multiple links in the text.

The error message has now been suppressed, but it may need a more reliable solution.

There are actually three scenarios:

  1. the URL returns a 404 (probably with a title)
  2. the URL returns something way too slow
  3. the URL doesn’t excist at all

Apparently, fopen returns FALSE when it encounters a 404.

The fallback is actually an empty return, so there is no title attribute added.
