I'm a PHP newbie, but I'm having similar results. Mine doesn't appear
to have to do with the length - both of your urls work for me - but
some work and others don't.

I can open:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/thinkgeek.rss

but not:
http://digg.com/rss/containertechnology.xml

I get the same "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!" warning.

Here's my stripped-down code:

$fp = fopen($url, "r");
if($fp !== false)
{
$out = file_get_contents($url);
fclose($fp);
}
else
{
$out = "Not opened";
}
echo $out;


I'm all ears!
