Actually, it's not a security measure. It's just that when you fopen() a
string which starts with 'http://', a remote request is made to get the
page just as if a browser had done it--so you get whatever a
browser would get if you entered that string into its Location line. By
opening the file locally, you're just reading it off the disc as per
normal, so you don't get any parsing.
