PHP cURL vs. file_get_contents when using proxy -

running in windows.

the following code works fine. don't have specify username , password when setting proxy.

$acontext = array( 'http' => array(     'proxy' => 'tcp://ip:port',      'request_fulluri' => true, ), ); $cxcontext = stream_context_create($acontext);  echo file_get_contents("someurl", false, $cxcontext); 

however when try code won't work unless specify username , password proxy.

    $ch = curl_init();     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true);     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_protocols, curlproto_http | curlproto_https);     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_proxy, 'http://ip:port');     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_url, "someurl");     $responsebody = curl_exec($ch); 

i http 407 error (received http code 407 proxy after connect) unless specify http://domain\user:password@ip:port

any ideas how make curl work without specifying user , password (like file_get_contents does)?

you can use curlopt_proxy , curlopt_proxyport options:

curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_proxy, "123.123.123.123"); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_proxyport, 8080); 

it's unclear question, if need use username , password authenticate proxy, can use curlopt_proxyuserpwd option specify username , password , curlopt_proxyauth option specify authentication method:

curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_proxyuserpwd, "username:password"); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_proxyauth, curlauth_basic); //http basic auth 

also, depending on type of proxy working with, may need specify type in curlopt_proxy setting or separately via curlopt_proxytype.
