curl reading in bytes

[Peon]

I am trying to convert following small code to curl but I am not getting successful. Any help please?

Basically that code is reading file in 8kb parts.

<?php
$handle = fopen("http://www.example.com/", "rb");
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
  $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);
?>

Here is a basic curl example: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/curl.examples-basic.php
