This is already fixed in CVS. The entire example is bogus,
it should not be using filesize($filename) either.
Here's what's in CVS (the manual will be rebuilt sometime
in the next week):
<?php
$handle = fopen ("http://www.example.com/",
"rb");
$contents = "";
do {
$data = fread($handle, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
} while(true);
fclose ($handle);
?>
And the whole point is to demonstrate the following note:
"When reading from network streams or pipes, such as those
returned when reading remote files or from popen() and
proc_open(), reading will stop after a packet is available.
This means that you should collect the data together in
chunks as shown in the example below."
Have fun :)

Philip
