getting data with curl failed

I'm trying to get the data returned from this link with CURL. However, I'm getting false as the output.

Here's my code and output:

Code:

$url = "http://ift.tt/1FOKLjf";
$ch  = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

var_dump( curl_getinfo($ch) );

curl_close($ch);

var_dump($data);

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
