I'm trying to get the content of a stream over HTTPS, but I have to go over an HTTP proxy. I'd like not to use cURL but rather use fopen with a context argument.
The thing is, I can't make it work over HTTPS (HTTP is working fine though).
This DOES NOT work :
$stream = stream_context_create(Array("http" => Array("method" => "GET",
"timeout" => 20,
"proxy" => "tcp://my-proxy:3128",
'request_fulluri' => True
)));
echo file_get_contents('https://my-stream', false, $context);
This DOES work (cURL) :
$url = 'https://my-stream';
$proxy = 'my-proxy:3128';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $curl_scraped_page;
Does somebody know what is wrong with the first piece of code ? if it works with cURL there has to be a way to make it work with a context. I tried to change the context options to a bunch of different values woth no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks.
