Because it's only getting the content you requested (index.html), the images are likely linked to relatively hence they won't show as they would be hunting on your server for the image location.

 

You could pull the data down and parse it, but that would be a waste of time.

 

This isn't what the socket functions are for, really. Something in-scope would be, say, connecting to a MUD and issuing commands via a web interface.

When you display someone else's HTML code on your site, all the relative links will be relative to YOUR site.  If all you want is a php web proxy, Yoctoproxy does a decent job of that.  If you want to make your own proxy, then be warned that it's not easy   You'll need to rewrite all those links like yoctoproxy does.
