Php Ffl_HttpGet()

        If your server has allow_url_fopen disabled, use this as a workaround for file() ... hell use it anyway and get the http headers as a bonus.

/**
 FUNCTION: ffl_HttpGet()
 * Perform a HTTP Get Request.
 *
 * ffl_HttpGet uses fsockopen() to request a given URL via HTTP
 * 1.0 GET and returns a three element array.  On success, array
 * key 'body' contains the body of the request's reply and key
 * 'header' contains the reply's headers.  On error, the keys
 * returned are 'errornumber' and 'errorstring' from
 * fsockopen()'s third and fourth arguments.  In either case,
 * key 'url' contains an array such as returned from parse_url()
 * after the input url has been massaged a bit.
 *
 * {@source }
 *
 * @param string $url URL to fetch.
 * @param boolean $followRedirects Optionally follow 
 * 'location:' in header, default true.
 * @return array 'header', 'body', 'url' OR 'errorstring',
 * 'errornumber', 'url'.
