If you run the curl tool, does it work then?

I just issued the following little test:

% curl -e http:/foo.com -Iv haxx.se
* Connected to haxx.se (195.163.138.21)
> HEAD / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: curl/7.4.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6) libcurl 7.4.1 (SSL 0.9.6)
Host: haxx.se:80
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Referer: http:/foo.com

... and it certainly seems to work as supposed.

If you can show this problem when running 'curl' I'd say it is a curl
problem. If you can't, I'd point my finger on the PHP layer for the curl
stuff.
