Example #1 Using stream_context_set_default()

<?php
$default_opts = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'method'=>"GET",
    'header'=>"Accept-language: en\r\n" .
              "Cookie: foo=bar",
    'proxy'=>"tcp://10.54.1.39:8000"
  )
);

$default = stream_context_set_default($default_opts);

 * For www.example.com using context options specified in $default_opts
 */
readfile('http://www.example.com');
?>
