note 110449 modified in context.http by danbrown

If you use the proxy server and encounter an error "fopen(http://example.com): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request" note that in many situations you need also set the parameter "request_fulluri" to "true" in your stream options. Without this option the php script sends the empty request to the server as "GET / HTTP/0.0" and the proxy server replies to it with the "HTTP 400" error. For example (working sample): <?php $stream = stream_context_create(Array("http" => Array("method" => "GET", "timeout" => 20, "header" => "User-agent: Myagent", "proxy" => "tcp://my-proxy.localnet:3128", 'request_fulluri' => True /* without this option we get an HTTP error! */ ))); if ( $fp = fopen("http://example.com", 'r', false, $stream) ) { print "well done"; } ?> P>S> PHP 5.3.17 --was-- If you use the proxy server and encounter an error "fopen(http://someurl.com): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!
