re-connect back to the page over port 80 not allowed by hosting

The thumbnail generator does not work.  The company managing our hosting
gave us this response.

This link is attempting to re-connect back to the page over port 80 in
order to display the image. This is not possible for security reasons. You
can see the second part of the link is not giving a path to the file on the
server but a loopback, as though it was an external link at a remote site. 

Because of this reason

will work

will not.

This script would have to be recoded to deal with absolute paths local to
the server instead."

Can this be done? This posted by somebody who is not technical with
absolutely no experience of PHP.

Thanks
