I don't know for sure what manual page you are quoting (you just point
to the PHP site) but the full quote at the page for the HTTP wrapper [1] is:

«The stream allows access to the body of the resource; the headers are
stored in the $http_response_header variable.»

.... and that's exactly what you are doing: printing the values of the
$http_response_header variable [2].

[1] http://es2.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.http.php
[2] http://es2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.httpresponseheader.php

Neither http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php nor
http://es.php.net/fpassthru claim that $http_response_header should not
get populated...
