Description:
------------
When using a proxy, the PHP Curl wrapper does not allow the user to remove or modify the Proxy-Connect header. PHP cURL will set a hard-coded "Proxy-Connect: Keep-alive" value, no matter if the user requests to disable this behavior by setting the header to null. Additionally, if the user would like to set "Proxy-Connect" to "Closed", this is impossible as cURL will still send the "Keep-Alive" header and append "Closed" afterwards, like so:
"Proxy-Connect: Keep-alive, Closed"

Test script:
---------------
<?php
//Proxy-Connection is not set, desired behavior is to remove this header from the request. The command line version of cURL does so properly, but PHP still sends it.
$headers = array('Proxy-Connection:');            

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $GLOBALS['proxyserver']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.xhaus.com/headers");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($result);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
HTTP Header*	Value
Accept	*/*
Connection	close
Host	www.xhaus.com
User-Agent	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0


Actual result:
--------------
HTTP Header*	Value
Accept	*/*
Connection	close
Host	www.xhaus.com
Proxy-Connection	Keep-Alive
User-Agent	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest

to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
