curl, redirection and ports

  I have a following php script:
set_time_limit(0);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,100);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,"h**p://www.mtsu.edu/~devstud2/DSM080.html");
$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch) == CURLE_OK )
{
echo $buffer;
}
else
{
echo "no";
}
curl_close($ch);

the sample url redirects to another one - I tried the script on
different servers - on some it works fine, following the redirect, on
others it reports "Cannot find server or DNS Error".

This is what I got from the support staff on the site where the script
doesn't work:

"We do not open non-standard ports (neither ingress or egress). You will
not be able to communicate with any host on port 11064 (or any
non-standard port). Port 80 (the standard Web Server port) would,
however, be
acceptable."

Inserting this line:
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PORT,80);
did not change anything

If you have any idea what could be causing the error, please let me know

Thanks
