What is the best function to use in php when grabbing the contents of a file. Currently Im using fopen but when I try to get the headers it uses roughly 2-3 seconds to get the headers. Would HTTPRequest be a better option?

Using the cURL functions gives you control over timeouts etc, and they’re pretty simple to use.
You can use
curl_setopt($myCurlResource, CURLOPT_HEADER, true)to include the headers in the return value.
