    Using PEAR HTTP_Client or HTTP_Request with HTTP proxy

    6th September 2006

    If you happen to write PHP script, which uses either HTTP_Client or its dependancy HTTP_Request from PEAR, and the script is supposed to work through the HTTP proxy – here are the sample settings you need:

    1. $params['proxy_user'] = 'proxy_username';
    2. $params['proxy_pass'] = 'proxy_password';
    3. $params['proxy_host'] = 'proxy_hostname_or_ip';
    4. $params['proxy_port'] = 8080; // 3128, ...
    5.  
    6. // I assume $headers were set somewhere else
    7. $req = &new HTTP_Client($params, $headers);

    If your proxy does not need authorization – just drop the proxy_user and proxy_pass parameters.
