What does this mean "failed to create stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections" ?

You are probably trying to open a URL with fopen with a mode of
something other than "r". If anything except "r" is used for a http://
fopen connection, it will fail as you cannot write to external URL's as
of yet.
eg.
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'r'); //Works fine
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'r+'); //Fails
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'w'); //Fails
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'w+'); //Fails
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'a'); //Fails
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'a+'); //Fails
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'x'); //Fails
$handle = fopen('http://google.com/', 'x+'); //Fails
