Subject: [PATCH] Web: fix get_other_projects() RPC

There can be intermittent "simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity" errors when using simplexml_load_file(). According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20534866 the solution is to use file_get_contents() first. This seems to work in our case too.
