cURL allows you to go through a proxy in order to make
HTTP requests.
cURL with Proxy
<?php
$ch = curl_init ('http://www.playboy.com/');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'http://evil.proxy/');
// curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY_USERPWD, 'username:pass');
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
?>
Furthermore, cURL can be used to tunnel all operations through
an HTTP proxy.
