Bug description:  fopen() fails on HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified

Description:
------------
When passing in an ETag or Last-Modified header to fopen() with a remote
http stream, the fopen() fails with a warning:

Warning: fopen(http://pear.php.net/rest/r/pear/allreleases.xml): failed to
open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified


This is incorrect behavior.  304 is a valid response code which is useful
for HTTP caching.

The correct response is to allow the stream to return, and require users
to use stream_get_meta_data() to retrieve the response headers.  Now, the
only way is to parse the error message, an ugly hack at best
