Nice solution, but sadly, I can't use it, because the script I need to fopen
is not the default script on the host domain's docroot:

<?
  $fp = fsockopen("www3.brinkster.com/soa/val/profile/display.asp", 80);
  if(!$fp) {
   echo "Unable to open\
";
  } else {
   fputs($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\
\
");
   $start = time();
   socket_set_timeout($fp, 5);
   $res = fread($fp, 1000000);
   var_dump(socket_get_status($fp));
   fclose($fp);
   echo $res;
  }

?>

This will never open.  :(

you use fopen to open a URL for "scraping", if that URL's server is down or
doesn't respond in x seconds, can you set a feature to show an error message
or a "friendly" error message indicating such?
