So, PHP script talked to NTLM Authentication Proxy Server which talked to ISA which talked to the outside world. Worked fine. The only thing I needed to do in PHP was setup a default context and all my normal file_get_contents(),etc. which needed to communicate through to the outside world worked fine. Here is the code I used ... // Define the default, system-wide context. $r_default_context = stream_context_get_default ( array ( 'http' => array ( // All HTTP requests are passed through the local NTLM proxy server on port 8080. 'proxy' => 'tcp://127.0.0.1:8080', 'request_fulluri' => True, ), ) ); // Though we said system wide, some extensions need a little coaxing. libxml_set_streams_context($r_default_context); So, set the proxy tcp address appropriately, put this code in a global include file (maybe via the auto_prepend_file= ini file setting) and see how you go. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
