This is not an error - it's what the boxes say when someone connects to
them using HTTP. it's a valid debug log with no error.

Why ? you are looping on feof() and shouldn't set the socket to blocking
mode.

Generaly speaking, I don't think you should use socket programming in
PHP for HTTP connections - PHP has a good HTTP infrastructure using the
fopen() and file() function calls. these calls will allow you to easily
do GET calls to Kannel and other HTTP applications. If you need the
ability to do POST calls, then PHP has an extension to link with the
excellent cURL library which does all kinds of HTTP magic.
I've had many problems with PHP socket programming and HTTP, and moving
to a cURL based implementation or using the internal file wrappers for
HTTP solved it for me.
