This begs the question "Does file_get_contents in PHP 4.3.x have an upper
limit to the size of the return data?" IE, if you do:

$string =
file_get_contents("https://www.someserver.com/path/page.php?query=str"); 

will "str_len($string)" max out at some multiple of 4096?

..don't forget I'm talking PHP 4.3.x
