Ehm, the files were uploaded through the web interface, hence the web server can write (to) them, hence it can also smush them...

Just installed this on one of my Wordpress installs, and oh my goodness... the savings are amazing. Biggest smush so far was 55% off a single image. Nice! Thanks! =D

Something is wrong at Smush.it's end by the looks of it:

I tried to use it but it only says “Error posting to Smush.it” - with the old and new added pictures. Anyone knows about this error?

Brilliant find. This is just what I've been looking for as it is hard to stop writers uploading big images. This is a great and simple way to ensure writers aren't uploading those resource hungry pictures.

According to their FAQ, Yahoo does not keep your images, just stats.

Hi Davis,

Yes, it does change the actual file. You'll see that the timestamp and the filesize will have changed. It does the same for the resized versions (e.g. thumbnails).

fopen errors won't be the only problem. Anyone running there site on a server using the latest mod_security are going to have issues. mod-security v2.+ won't allow any get calls to external url's.
I haven't looked at the code though, so maybe he's worked around it. You can fix the fopen issue by inserting your own php.ini in the root of your site. Set it to open in your file, it MIGHT override the server php.ini
