Comment(by dd32):

 Ref:
 {{{
 Custom headers may be sent with an HTTP request prior to version 5 by
 taking advantage of a side-effect in the handling of the user_agent INI
 setting. Set user_agent to any valid string (such as the default
 PHP/version setting) followed by a carriage-return/line-feed pair and any
 additional headers. This method works in PHP 4 and all later versions.


 Example #1 Sending custom headers with an HTTP request
 <?php
 ini_set('user_agent', "PHP\r\nX-MyCustomHeader: Foo");

 $fp = fopen('http://www.example.com/index.php', 'r');
 ?>
 }}}

 It seems to suggest theres a PHP5+ method thats better suited, I'm going
 to assume this is what the Streams function should be using.
