file_get_contents and connection refused error

I'm getting the following error:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://open.mapquestapi.com/geocoding/v1/address?key=MYKEY&location=Chicago,IL): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/mysite/public_html/mapq.php on line 2

Here's the PHP code:

<?php

$json = file_get_contents('http://open.mapquestapi.com/geocoding/v1/address?key=MYKEY&location=Chic...');

 

It'll be great if someone can let me know how this can be addressed and thanks for your time ahead.

The MapQuest request works
The MapQuest request works great. I'm not a PHP developer, so I can't tell what's going wrong there.

It'll be great if anyone with a very basic PHP knowledge can comment on this.

What I understant is that

What I understant is that this error is implying that MapQuest server is blocking the file_get_contents requests.

Of course, it shouldn't block these requests and this is probably a minor mistake made recently.
