CURL and Proxy Support

CURL has support for proxies, including SSL. Below we refer to the code snippet in the first example, but modify it to use a proxy.

[php] // Initialize the CURL library
$cURL = curl_init();

// Set the URL to execute
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com");

// Set options
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($cCURL, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($cCURL, CURLOPT_PROXY, "myproxy.com:1080");
curl_setopt($cCURL, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "mysuername:mypassword");

// Execute, saving results in a variable
$strPage = curl_exec($cURL);

// Close CURL resource
curl_close($cURL);

// This will print out the HTML contents
echo($strPage);
?>[/php]
