if (!$fp) {
  ...
  variable_set('drupal_http_request_fails', TRUE);

if drupal_http_request is called before the database is installed, variable_set will make a Fatal error..

One option is to get rid of the whole 'drupal_http_request_fails' thing altogether -- it is causing enough other troubles as it is.

See #245990-124: HTTP request testing unreliable and may be undesirable.

That discussion is now at #965078: HTTP request checking is unreliable and should be removed in favor of watchdog() calls.

For info: This now fixed for Drupal 8. See #965078-58: HTTP request checking is unreliable and should be removed in favor of watchdog() calls. Needs work for backport to D7.
