Description:
------------
Using fread() with URL returns only a part of the file:

eg:
reading http://schreiners-buero.de/sbinfo.htm with
25170 Byte is only 2550 Byte

Reproduce code:
---------------
$url='http://schreiners-buero.de/sbinfo.htm';
$fp = fopen($url,'rb');
$code = fread($fp,4000000);
fclose($fp);
echo "<p>length ".strlen($code)."  </p>";
$code2=file_get_contents($url);
echo "<p>length ".strlen($code2)."  </p>";
exit;
