Comment (by DD32):

 > discover_pingback_server_uri()

 that really is a ugly function..

 a HEAD request can be used to look for X-Pingback headers & workout the
 content-type, however, you're right, theres no way to mearly return the
 first x bytes of the document.. And on top of that, most of the HTTP
 methods are designed to fetch the entire file (Streams, Http Extension,
 curl)
