Hi , I am having rouble with initializing SoapClient from befind a firewall to an external web service with a code like this: $soapClient = new SoapClient($wsdl, array( 'proxy_host' => $proxy_host, 'proxy_port' => $proxy_port ) ); After trying for awhile php ends up with the error: "Warning: SoapClient::__construct(...): failed to open stream: Connection timed out" (more errors follow). The proxy options are correct. I can use the same host:port with other network tools, such as curl or libwww-perl. It looks like passing proxy options has no effect whatsoever. Any suggestions?
