This is a real spider, not a harvestman. This one is a Cellar Spiders - Pholcidae. You can see that it's body is clearly separated into head and abdomen while harvestmen's head and abdomen are fused together. AshishNimkar is quite correct because one of the common name for Pholcidae spider is Daddy Long Legs.
