title: PHP: file_get_contents hangs on a specific URL
body: <p>So I have a simple php file that is supposed to read the source of an rss feed and write it to a SimpleXML object. My code works just fine with most url's. I've tested with CNN and a few others. However, the URL I actually need it to work with hangs. I've talked a bit with the company that hosts the content, and they say there's nothing special and it should work. Can anyone throw out any ideas as to why a particular URL would hang? (FYI the content comes from a blog hosted by Compendium)</p>
  
  <p>Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$url = "http://www.example.com/rss?compendium_feed_count=3";
  $xml = file_get_contents($url);
  print_r($xml);
  $xmldoc = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
  print_r($xmldoc);
  </code></pre>
