It would be nice if fopen("http://www.mywebsite.com", "r"); used the value in http_proxy as a proxy server instead of always fetching the data directly.  Using CURL is an option, but its a lot more complex.  If this functionality isn't too difficult to achieve, it would be much appreciated.

For example, I have a PHP program that HTMLizes RFCs and displays them.  It grabs the rfc###.txt directly from http://www.ietf.org/ but there's no reason for it to refetch them every time if they can be cached by our proxy server.

Note: blanking $http_proxy should disable the proxy.

although the request should remain open, this specific problem can be solved using PEAR::Cache.
 [2003-12-03 00:36 UTC] pollita@php.net
This feature has been added to PHP 5.0.0

Example Usage:

<?php
  $context = stream_context_create(
    array('http'=>
      array('proxy'=>'tcp://proxy.example.com:5100')
    ));

  $contents = file_get_contents('http://www.somesite.com/pat/to/file', false, $context);
