Note that when using this function (or readfile(), et. al.) to read in the contents of a URL, the
request is sent with a new session ID. This could be a problem when reading from pages that are
protected using a session-based login system. For example, I ran into this problem when trying to
read from an ASP page, which triggered the Session_OnStart subroutine in the global.asa file, which
then called a login function, which then returned a login form instead of the value that I was
looking for. I ended up writing an IF clause that would circumvent the login function if the value
of the SCRIPT_NAME server variable matched the ASP page I was calling from PHP.
