Proxy Authorization
Proxy Authorization –
Making use of a HTTP proxy
How to use Proxy Authorization
Using a proxy server with anonymous access
In this example it is assumed that one wants to use the machine with
the hostname proxy.example.com, where a proxy
server is listening on port 8080, to proxy the
outgoing connection to example.com.
The second parameter of setProxy() is optional
and defaults to 8080.
<?php
require_once "HTTP/Request.php";
$req =& new HTTP_Request("http://example.com/");
$req->setProxy("proxy.example.com", 8080);
?>
Using proxy authorization
This is the same example as above, except that a username/password
tuple is provided, which authorizes the user at the proxy server:
The username is johndoe and the appendant
password is foo.
<?php
require_once "HTTP/Request.php";
$req =& new HTTP_Request("http://example.com/");
$req->setProxy("proxy.example.com", 8080, "johndoe", "foo");
?>
