# HTTP and HTTPS

PHP 3, PHP 4. `https://` since `PHP 4.3.0`

- `http://example.com`

- `http://user:password@example.com`

- `https://example.com`

- `https://user:password@example.com`

Allows read-only access to files/resources via HTTP 1.0, using the HTTP GET method. A `Host:` header is sent with the request to handle name-based virtual hosts. If you have configured a user_agent string using your ini file or the stream context, it will also be included in the request.

Atenção
Some non-standard compliant webservers, such as IIS, send data in a way that causes PHP to raise warnings. When working with such servers you should lower your error_reporting level not to include warnings.

Redirects have been supported since PHP 4.0.5; if you are using an earlier version you will need to include trailing slashes in your URLs. If it's important to know the URL of the resource where your document came from (after all redirects have been processed), you'll need to process the series of response headers returned by the stream.

`<?php $url = 'http://www.example.com/redirecting_page.php'; $fp = fopen($url, 'r'); /* Prior to PHP 4.3.0 use $http_response_header instead of stream_get_meta_data() */ foreach(stream_get_meta_data($fp) as $response) { /* Were we redirected? */ if (substr(strtolower($response), 0, 10) == 'location: ') { /* update $url with where we were redirected to */ $url = substr($response, 10); } } ?>`

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().

HTTP connections are read-only; you cannot write data or copy files to an HTTP resource.

> Nota: HTTPS is supported starting from `PHP 4.3.0`, if you have compiled in support for OpenSSL.

Tabela J-3. Context options (as of `PHP 5.0.0`)

Name | Usage | Default
--- | --- | ---
`method` | `GET`, `POST`, or any other HTTP method supported by the remote server. | `GET`
`header` | Additional headers to be sent during request. Values in this option will override other values (such as `User-agent:`, `Host:`, and `Authentication:`). |
`user_agent` | Value to send with User-Agent: header. This value will only be used if user-agent is not specified in the `header` context option above. | `php.ini` setting: `user_agent`
`content` | Additional data to be sent after the headers. Typically used with POST or PUT requests. |
`proxy` | URI specifying address of proxy server. (e.g. `tcp://proxy.example.com:5100` ). |
`request_fulluri` | When set to `TRUE`, the entire URI will be used when constructing the request. (i.e. `GET http://www.example.com/path/to/file.html HTTP/1.0`). While this is a non-standard request format, some proxy servers require it. | `FALSE`

> Underlying socket stream context options: Additional context options may be supported by the underlying transport For `http://` streams, refer to context options for the `tcp://` transport. For `https://` streams, refer to context options for the `ssl://` transport.
