The curl & dig ideas were great, thanks. Turns out the machine's network was badly configured and that's probably what was causing this problem. Curiously firefox could browse these sites without any problem despite not having any proxy defined and it took the command line to reveal the issue.

Thank you for your help, this had been bugging us for days!

Adrian.

I think I'd first try "dig www.google.com" to be sure that it is 
resolving, then I believe I'd try to fetch the URL from your code sample 
using cUrl. If both of those work then I'm not sure what I'd look at next.
