The Embedded Media Thumbnail and Embedded Image contrib modules both use the file_get_contents() function to retrieve files via external URLs. This creates a "URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration" error in some PHP configurations, and enabling URL file access can create a security issue.

The file_get_contents() function calls should therefore be replaced with drupal_http_request() function calls.
