Warning: main() [function.main]: stream does not support seeking in http://www.spooky.dp.ua/test.html on line 0

I do it. Now I have another warning message:
Warning: main() [function.main]: stream does not support seeking in /www/clients/commerce/darknes/www.spooky.dp.ua/pages/news.html on line 6

news.html is a PHP script here that have include() on a line 6.

I am having the same problem, my O/S is FreeBSD 4.8-RC as well, and the PHP versions I am using is 4.3.1. I am running 4.3.2-RC1 on my own box, same problem seems to exist there:

I setup some example scripts to show what is happening, they are below:

[file.inc]
<?php
  echo "Hello World!";
?>

[test.php]
<?php
  include("http://pub.thinkhost.com/file.inc");
?>

When I call test.php, I get this:

Warning: main() [function.main]: stream does not support seeking in http://pub.thinkhost.com/file.inc on line 0

?php echo "Hello World!\n"; ?> 

An error message, and it appears that the first byte of the response from the web server to fetch file.inv has been nibbled off. Any idea why?

Works fine with 4.3.2-RC.

Does not work (i.e. spits warning: stream does not support seeking bla bla bla) for me on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE

Tried: 
PHP-4.3.2RC2 
php4-STABLE-200305070730

Both spit out warnings like

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/www/htdocs/English/vacancy/job.php on line 2

line 2 being 
include("http://blablalbla ...");
 [2003-06-03 13:11 UTC] kelv at kelv dot net 
Same problem here. Using stable PHP 4.3.2 on Slackware Linux 7.1, kernel 2.4.20.

<?php include("http://www.some.url.somewhere"); ?>

We are seeing the same with PHP4.3.2, Linux RedHat 7.3, Apache 1.3.27 (PHP as a module).

<?php
include("http://www.example.com/test.txt");
?>

yields this

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/example/public_html/test.php on line 3

and includes the file.

This report is related to bug #24053 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24053) which was marked bogus.  (although it is not.)

This has repercussions with functions like getimagesize, which clearly need to be able to access remote files.  Now they spit out a warning....
