So why am I posting? Well two things: 1. I want to get more involved in the opensource community; 2. I need your help!
Currently I'm working on a new, all singing, all dancing development server. So far I have the following:
- Ubuntu gutsy platform
- Apache 2
- Multiple development ports per developer running PHP4 and 5
- Zend Platform
- PHP Unit
- RoR
- SVN
- and other goodies!
- Some shell scripts to facilitate administrator tasks
- A wiki for users
- Setup default proxy settings for PHP
The development server is behind our proxy, which requires authentication. But our live servers don't use a proxy.
I need to be able to use functions like fopen on the development server and still have them working on live (i.e. I need to change default proxy settings on dev). Being able to change them in php.ini would be great, but doesn't seem to be possible.
So far I've looked at:
- Prepending a default context steam: Not sure whether I can use authentication; If it does work, it'll only work with PHP5.
- Transparent proxies, but they don't seem to support authentication.
Thanks
