How would I pull an image from an HTTP url and save to HTPS server and then load?

I'm trying to figure out how to pull an image from a third party website that gets changed every so often. Basically I am using Vbulletin software and would like to avoid a mixed content warning - hosting an image (HTTP) from another site onto mine (HTTPS). I would like the function basically to call the image in php, save the image to a folder on my server and then a php function to call the saved image on my server and display it. Thoughts? Thanks. I keep getting a failure to open stream on file_get_contents...

    ob_start();


//Get the file
$content = file_get_contents("http://www.defconwarningsystem.com/current/defcon.jpg");
//Store in the filesystem.
$fp = fopen("/images/defcon/defcon.jpg", "w");
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);


$html = ob_get_clean();
return $html;

If file_get_contents doesn't work try cURL. See example usage on php reference

Change 

$content = file_get_contents("http://www.defconwarningsystem.com/current/defcon.jpg");

To

$content = file_get_contents("//defconwarningsystem.com/current/defcon.jpg");

And see if that works.
