Getting file contents over a proxy - El Forum - 10-20-2009

This is the situation. I have a list of proxy adresses, and they all require username and password. Now I need to get contents from a URL over those proxies. Choosing a proxy is not a problem, it will be done randomly, but nothing is working so far.
It's not really CI related, but it' actually part of a CI app Wink

Here's my code:

Code:
$authProx = base64_encode("my_username:my_password");

$header =     "Accept-language: en\r\n" .

            "Proxy-Authorization: Basic {$authProx}" ; 

$ctx = stream_context_create(array( 

    'http' => array( 

         'timeout'         =>20

        ,'proxy'             =>'tcp://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx'

        ,'request_fulluri'     =>TRUE

        ,'header'         =>$header

        ) 

    ) 

);

$scrape_data = file_get_contents('http://www.my_url.hr', FALSE, $ctx);

And the error I keep getting:

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: file_get_contents(http://www.my_url.hr) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! 

Filename: libraries/torrentfile.php

Line Number: 678

Any help would be appreciated.
