Thanks for your answer, it's a pitty that a proxy cannot be specified via php.ini, but anyway. I must say that the information is distributed on many parts of the documentation: .- http://www.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php (for the parameters supported by the http/https context) You get there following this path: function.stream-context-set-default.php -> Supported Protocols and Wrappers -> wrappers.http.php -> context.http.php It's a bit too much, to try to ammend that, I've added a note in the function.stream-context-set-default.php page that should clarify the setup of proxy with default context. I'd be glad if someone had a look on that and revised the code. The code is this: <?php //Code snippet taken from // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1336262/file-get-contents-behind-a-proxy php $auth = base64_encode('LOGIN:PASSWORD'); $aContext = array( 'http' => array( 'proxy' => 'tcp://192.168.0.2:3128', 'request_fulluri' => true, 'header' => "Proxy-Authorization: Basic $auth", ), ); stream_context_set_default($aContext); $sFile = file_get_contents("http://www.google.com";, False); echo $sFile; ?> 2012/2/14 Matijn Woudt <tijnema@xxxxxxxxx> > On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 5:41 PM, Joan <aseques@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > There is some information about configuring php to use a proxy when > > connecting to external urls. > > > > According to some sources the proper setup option is by using > > the stream-context-set-default function ( > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-set-default.php) > > Still I have not been able to find any reference about if it can be set > on > > php.ini (so all the instances of php use it) > > > > Also there is this bug that has been assigned since 2010 and still have > not > > changed (29280) > > https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29280 > > > > Any information about this will be well received. > > > > Thanks, > > > > Joan > > Hi, > > AFAIK there's no such setting in php.ini.
