Answer 1

You can use file_get_contents adding the ignore_errors option set to true, in this way you will get the entire body of the response in case of error (HTTP/1.1 400, for example) and not only a simple false.

You can see an example here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11479968/3926617

If you want access to response's headers, you can use $http_response_header after the request.
