This above code entry does NOT just open the first 8k.. Consider:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

function auto_title_http_get($url){ 

        $url_stuff = parse_url($url); 
        $port = isset($url_stuff['port']) ? $url_stuff['port'] : 80; 

        $fp = fsockopen($url_stuff['host'], $port); 

        $query  = "GET " . $url_stuff['path'] ."?". $url_stuff['query'] . " HTTP/1.0\n"; 
        $query .= "Host: " . $url_stuff['host']; 
        $query .= "\n\n"; 

        fwrite($fp, $query); 

        while ($tmp = fread($fp, 8192)) 
        { 
            $buffer .= $tmp; 
        } 

        preg_match('/Content-Length: ([0-9]+)/', $buffer, $parts); 

        return substr($buffer, - $parts[1]); 

    }


echo auto_title_http_get('http://fedora.inode.at/6/i386/iso/FC-6-i386-DVD.iso');

?>

And watch your servers memory get gobbled up and and PHP timeout.. Hence why fopen is preferred.
