Bug description:file_get_contents for url hangs

Description:
------------
file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/";)



hangs until timeout.



I did a debug and found that file_get_contents doesn't check the
"content-length" header.



If you do this way:



file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/";, NULL, NULL, 0, 1);



then get "content-length" from the response header,



then 



file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/";, NULL, NULL, 0,
the-value-from-content-length);



then it works.



Apparently we should close the socket when we read content-length bytes
from the socket and return.



Test script:
---------------
file_get_contents("http://english.aljazeera.net/";)
