SimplePie behaving differently on local vs. server

[eluser]ericbae[/eluser]
I have a simple code, which uses SimplePie RSS parser.

Code:

// load rss feeds
set_time_limit(0);
$this->load->library('simplepie');
        
// use simple pie to process the feeds
$this->simplepie->set_feed_url('http://news.google.com.au/news?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&output=rss&q=Bible+study');
$this->simplepie->init();
$this->simplepie->handle_content_type();

print_r($this->simplepie);

The above code works fine on my local machine. However, when I upload it to my server, it gives the following statement in the "print_r" statement.

Code:

[error] => A feed could not be found at http://news.google.com.au/news?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&output=rss&q=Bible+Study

Any ideas?
