Description:
------------
When retrieving a web page using file() from, say, http://www.tabonline.com.au, there is a delay of several seconds before the page is actually retrieved. This happens under Ubuntu (Hoary Hedgehog, using PHP 4.3.10) and also Fedora Core 3 (PHP 5.0.4). I don't get the delay under Fedora Core 1 (PHP 4.3.8) or Red Hat 7.3. (PHP 4.3.9).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$file = file("http://www.tabonline.com.au/2005/06/24/QR04.html");
print_r($file);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
HTML of the retrieved page, which I get, but not before a delay of several seconds.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

Tried the CVS snapshot (php4-STABLE-200506300435) on my Fedora Core 3 system and had the same problem (took about 30 seconds to download the page). Tried the same script on a FreeBSD 5.4 box and had no delays.

I think this delay occurs with Linux 2.6 kernels.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the URL for testing needs to be updated as it expires after some days. The URL is date-based so get a valid page for 30 June 2005, the URL would be:

http://www.tabonline.com.au/2005/06/30/QR04.html

and for 1 July 2005, it would be:

http://www.tabonline.com.au/2005/07/01/QR04.html

and so on.

Linux kernel issues are not PHP bugs..
