Detecting HTTP Headers
I found this function, which seems faster and more efficient than php 5's get_header function.

<?php
function my_get_headers($url) {
        $url_info=parse_url($url);
        if (isset($url_info['scheme']) && $url_info['scheme'] == 'https')
        {
           $port = 443;
           @$fp=fsockopen('ssl://'.$url_info['host'], $port, $errno, $errstr, 10);
        }
        else
        {
           $port = isset($url_info['port']) ? $url_info['port'] : 80;
           @$fp=fsockopen($url_info['host'], $port, $errno, $errstr, 10);
        }
       
        if($fp)
        {
                stream_set_timeout($fp, 10);
                $head = "HEAD ".@$url_info['path']."?".@$url_info['query'];
                $head .= " HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: ".@$url_info['host']."\r\n\r\n";
                fputs($fp, $head);
                while(!feof($fp))
                {
                        if($header=trim(fgets($fp, 1024)))
                        {
                                $sc_pos = strpos( $header, ':' );
                                if( $sc_pos === false )
                                {
                                   $headers['status'] = $header;
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        $label = substr( $header, 0, $sc_pos );
                                        $value = substr( $header, $sc_pos+1 );
                                        $headers[strtolower($label)] = trim($value);
                                }
                        }
                }
                return $headers;
        }
        else
        {
           return false;
        }
}
?>
