Chevereto stopped making tinyurl request at new host

So as many before me, I left Godaddy since nothing on their servers worked :(
At my new host, the mod_rewrite works out of the box.
The only problem I have now, is that the custom tinyurl feature stopped making request (or at least something is wrong).
It doesn't make a new link since no new link appear in YOURLS admin panel.
The API-url still works since I can use it in the url field.
I don't know if this is because of a feature is missing at my host or what else could be wrong

My settings in the config.php is as following:
Code: 
$config['short_url'] = true;
$config['short_url_service'] = 'custom';
$config['custom_short_url_api'] = 'http://yoursite.com/yourls-api.php?signature="API-token"&action=shorturl&format=simple&url=';
 
Hmm a server admin responded with:

I believe this is the script that is misbehaving is /home/user/public_html/yoursite.com/includes/shorturl.php and I also see that the tiny URL is created using functions in /home/user/public_html/yoursite.co/includes/functions.php how do these differ?

If it does work with some of the default services then is not a Chevereto issue. Chevereto handles the custom URL just like the preset services.

Test a standalone call to the custom short URL api.

I tried using the api with username instead.. same result
I can make an tinyurl just fine in the browser's url field using:
Code: 
http://yoursite.com/yourls-api.php?signature="API-token"&action=shorturl&format=simple&url=
adding www.google.dk after url= gives me a new tinyurl in plaintext
 
So I got an admin to trace the process.
I did however try using my chevereto site with an yourls installation on another host (not hostgator) that work perfectly.
I guess it's YOURLS developer if should be talking with, but do you get anything from this? (since I don't know how to contact them)

When tracing your script as it does the upload process, I found this in the steps:
============================================================
[root@gator1595 /home/user/public_html/ponybeats.com]# grep droplet-projects.com strace
19:25:48 send(4, "GET /yourls-api.php?signature=1559ab7e6c&action=shorturl&format=simple&url=http%3A%2F%2Fponybeats.com%2Fimages%2F91utq.jpg HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: droplet-projects.com\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n", 176, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 176
19:25:48 recv(4, "HTTP/1.1 302 Found\r\nDate: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:25:48 GMT\r\nServer: Apache/2.2.19 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.19 OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1\r\nLocation: http://droplet-projects.com\r\nContent-Length"..., 16384, 0) = 288
============================================================

Specifically, look at this part:
4, "HTTP/1.1 302 Found\r\nDate: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:25:48 GMT\r\nServer: Apache/2.2.19 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.19 OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1\r\nLocation: http://droplet-projects.com\r\nContent-Length"..., 16384, 0) = 288

Now when I use "GET" to retrieve that URL like your script did. I see this:

====================================================================================
[root@gator1595 /home/user/public_html/ponybeats.com]# GET "http://droplet-projects.com/yourls-...ple&url=http://ponybeats.com/images/91utq.jpg"

</body></html>
====================================================================================

The URL it is attempting to load is this one:
http://droplet-projects.com/yourls-...ple&url=http://ponybeats.com/images/91utq.jpg

If you try that page, you will see that it does not work and redirects to the home page where you see this at the bottom:
Apache/2.2.19 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.19 OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 Server at droplet-projects.com Port 80

The above should look very familiar, as it is the same as the trace I ran on your script when it processes the upload.
So, unfortunately what this means is that something wrong is happening with your script when it attempts to pull the URL and is sending it incorrectly unfortunately. I do not know exactly why this would be happening as this would require the support from the developers. But, I have dug into this as much as possible for you to find where it was breaking and from here you would would need to talk to actual developers who can review the code to find out why it is doing this.
