An interesting URL fetcher by Bin-Co. It workarounds all the curl, fsockopen and file_get_contents problems and provides a nice way to do content fetching.

PHP make fetching remote content very easy by including functions like file_get_contents() that has URL support. Unfortunately, this is a huge security threat - and many servers have disabled this feature in PHP. Also this is not the most optimized method to fetch an URL. Also, it is impossible to submit data using the POST method using this function.
