discover_pingback_server_uri reads in the http header and
if it doesn't find a X-pingback header continues to read in
the first 2048 bytes of the file (after the two carrige returns) to see
wether a rel=pingback url can be found. If the file is smaller than 2048
(which admittely doesn't happen often) fgets waits for the timeout. A
simple fix I have tried is switching to HTTP 1.0 in the request, which
also works on my virutal hosted domains.
