I comfortably admit I am new to downloading very large files in PHP, and 
I'm trying to learn.

I found an approach that worked...mostly. But it caused PHP to crash 
under JavaBridge and Tomcat. An experienced Java programmer saw the logs 
and said it was due to a class error. I contacted this mailing list and 
explained what was happening and was told that it was down to a feature 
not yet supported in JavaBridge. Now I'm being told it's not down to that.

I don't have any understanding of HTTP chunked encoding works. I'm not 
using this header in my code and your references to it were the first 
that I had seen. I'll read up on this and see how I can use it given 
what you say. And looking at the implementation of chunked encoding will 
give me more information on how fgets() and feof() work generally, and 
in the context of chunked encoding.

Again, many thanks for helping out. It is appreciated.
