Opening remote files with "fopen"

Hello together! I've got problems with opening some remote files, but I really don't understand why this doesn't work (with mostly all it works)! This is one of them the fopen-function don't open: $fp = fopen("http://www.cornutopia.charitydays.co.uk/software/arcangel.xml", "r"); But is also don't send an error: just trys and trys, ... What's special about this file? Why can't this one be opened and mostly other can? I also can't see any redirections from the server which might be a problem and when trying to get the file in a browser it work's fine... Hope, you can help!
