What is in $errno and $errstr for YouTube?
If you surf to that URL with LiveHTTPHeaders, what headers are flying
by? If it's a bunch of re-directs, it's possible the fsockopen is
getting closed immediately after the headers, I guess, so maybe the
socket closes??? That don't sound right.
Still, find out what a browser does, and then mimic that well enough
that YouTube lets you through.
