Bug description:file_get_contents for url hangs

Description:
------------
file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/")

hangs until timeout.

I did a debug and found that file_get_contents doesn't check the
"content-length" header.

If you do this way:

file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/", NULL, NULL, 0,
1);

then get "content-length" from the response header,

then 

file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/", NULL, NULL, 0,
the-value-from-content-length);

then it works.

Apparently we should close the socket when we read content-length bytes
from the socket and return.


Test script:
---------------
file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/")
