[wp-hackers] Re: Preferred method of fetching remote webpage?

[David Chait]

No, it's obvious he just strips the headers.

I too wrote my own retrieval library -- underlying CG-FeedRead and CG-Amazon 
(and upcoming projects...) -- targeting quick XML fetches.  And yes, I dealt 
with the various redirect and other header codes.  After using built-in PHP 
stuff for a while, that then broke on some hosts, then trying one or two 
libraries, which didn't always work, I wrote my own -- just easier at that 
point. ;)

If you're only concerned with WP, definitely use WP facilities.  I've 
written general-purpose solutions, thus didn't want to 'rely' on a given 
platform's includes. :)
