I would increase the timeout <http://stackoverflow.com/a/18927990/3877822>for
the url_fetch. If that does not work I would recommend posting on
StackOverflow
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-app-engine+php>. You will
have a better chance of finding someone who has had a similar issue. If you
can prove it's a bug with the platform posting on the PIT
<https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list> with a working
sample project would help fix the issue.
