If/else for https connection through proxy - php

Question

I am using this code to check a proxy server, before doing anything else. When the connection is ok, I have a file_get_contents line to connect to a website.
$host = '123.45.678.90';
$port = 80;
$waitTimeoutInSeconds = 1;
if($fp = fsockopen($host,$port,$errCode,$errStr,$waitTimeoutInSeconds)){
$aContext = array(
'http' => array(
'proxy' => 'tcp://123.45.678.90:80',
'request_fulluri' => true,
),
);
$cxContext = stream_context_create($aContext);
// connect to website using a proxy server
$file_content = file_get_contents('https://www.anything.com', False, $cxContext);
} else {
// It didn't work
}
fclose($fp);
But though the proxy connection was succesfull, I see this: Warning Cannot connect to HTTPS server through proxy? Is there any chance to have an if/else statement, that allows me to do something if there is no warning and stop doing something if there is a warning? I have looked and googled a lot, but haven't found anything I could try.
Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

try to use curl instead of file_get_contents and it will work
<?php
$url = 'https://www.google.com';
// to check your proxy
// $url = 'http://whatismyipaddress.com/';
$proxy = '50.115.194.97:8080';
// create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // read more about HTTPS http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31162706/how-to-scrape-a-ssl-or-https- url/31164409#31164409
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13');
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;
?>

if($fp = fsockopen($host,$port,$errCode,$errStr,$waitTimeoutInSeconds) doesn't make sense, if this proxy is working, you can simply use:
$aContext = array(
'http' => array(
'proxy' => 'tcp://123.45.678.90:80',
'request_fulluri' => true,
),
);
$cxContext = stream_context_create($aContext);
$file_content = file_get_contents('https://google.com', False, $cxContext);
print $file_content;
