http://
https://
http:// -- https:// — 访问 HTTP(s) 网址
说明
允许通过 HTTP 对文件/资源进行可读访问。默认使用 HTTP 1.0 GET。
HTTP 请求会附带一个 Host: 头，用于兼容基于域名的虚拟主机。
如果在你的 php.ini 文件中或字节流上下文（context）配置了 user_agent 字符串，它也会被包含在请求之中。
数据流允许读取资源的 body，而 headers 则储存在了 $http_response_header 变量里。
如果需要知道文档资源来自哪个 URL（经过所有重定向的处理后）， 需要处理数据流返回的系列响应报头（response headers）。
The from directive will be used for the
From: header if set and not overwritten by the
上下文（Context）选项和参数.
用法
- http://example.com
- http://example.com/file.php?var1=val1&var2=val2
- http://user:password@example.com
- https://example.com
- https://example.com/file.php?var1=val1&var2=val2
- https://user:password@example.com
范例
示例 #1 检测重定向后最终的 URL
<?php
$url = 'http://www.example.com/redirecting_page.php';
$fp = fopen($url, 'r');
$meta_data = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
foreach ($meta_data['wrapper_data'] as $response) {
/* 我们是否被重定向了？ */
if (strtolower(substr($response, 0, 10)) == 'location: ') {
/* 更新我们被重定向后的 $url */
$url = substr($response, 10);
}
}
?>
注释
注意: openssl 扩展启用后才能够支持 HTTPS 协议。
HTTP 连接是只读的；还不支持对一个 HTTP 资源进行写数据或者复制文件。
比如发送 POST 和 PUT 请求， 可以在 HTTP Contexts 的支持下实现。

As it says on this page:
"The stream allows access to the body of the resource; the headers are stored in the $http_response_header variable. Since PHP 4.3.0, the headers are available using stream_get_meta_data()."
This one sentence is the only documentation I have found on the mysterious $http_response_header variable, and I'm afraid it's misleading. It implies that from 4.3.0 onward, stream_get_meta_data() ought to be used in favor of $http_response_header.
Don't be fooled! stream_get_meta_data() requires a stream reference, which makes it ONLY useful with fopen() and related functions. However, $http_response_header can be used to get the headers from the much simpler file_get_contents() and related functions, which makes it still very useful in 5.x.
Also note that even when file_get_contents() and friends fail due to a 4xx or 5xx error and return false, the headers are still available in $http_response_header.

Passing authentication information in the URL as in "https://user:password@example.com" works for HTTP "Basic" access authentication but not for HTTP "Digest" access authentication. You can use the cURL functions for servers requesting HTTP "Digest" access authentication.

HTTP post function;
<?php
function post_it($datastream, $url) {
$url = preg_replace("@^http://@i", "", $url);
$host = substr($url, 0, strpos($url, "/"));
$uri = strstr($url, "/");
$reqbody = "";
foreach($datastream as $key=>$val) {
if (!empty($reqbody)) $reqbody.= "&";
$reqbody.= $key."=".urlencode($val);
}
$contentlength = strlen($reqbody);
$reqheader = "POST $uri HTTP/1.1\r\n".
"Host: $host\n". "User-Agent: PostIt\r\n".
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".

If you want to send more than one custom header, just make header an array:
<?php
$default_opts = array(
'http' => array(
'user_agent' => 'Foobar',
'header' => array(
'X-Foo: Bar',
'X-Bar: Baz'
)
)
);
stream_context_get_default($default_opts);
readfile('http://www.xhaus.com/headers');
?>
