Presumably that's what RFC 2616 refers to as the "message body", the part
of the response that follows the headers. Translated: what you get with
fopen() is what you'd get by fetching the same URL with a browser and then
viewing source.

BTW, fsockopen() can be used to get both headers ("Content-type",
"Content-length", "Expires", "Location", etc.) and body
("<HTML>....</HTML>" or whatever).
