# exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions

 * Your plugin looks very popular and I want to use it on my website as well.
    However,
   my hosting company disables all exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions. The
   hosting company supports CURL as an alternative to url_fopen. Do you mind telling
   me if your plugin uses exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions or CURL?
 * Thank you for support!

 * It only uses the WordPress HTTP functions, which use CURL if available. No exec
   statements are being used.
