Network Connection Settings

basicauth: Specifies authorization credentials for a password protected newsfeed. To access a newsfeed which requires a username and password and accepts "Basic" authorization, enter your credentials here as "username:password".

Example:

	require_once '/path/to/carp.php';
	CarpConf('basicauth','myusername:mypassword');
	CarpCacheShow('http://www.geckotribe.com/password/protected/newsfeed.rss');

proxyserver: The address of your web proxy server, if any. NOTE: The address must be specified as "http://proxy.server.com", without a trailing slash ("/").

Example:

	require_once '/path/to/carp.php';
	CarpConf('proxyserver','http://proxy.mycompany.com');
	CarpCacheShow('http://www.geckotribe.com/press/rss/pr.rss');

proxyauth: Specifies authorization credentials for a password protected proxy server. If you are using a proxy server which requires authorization and accepts "Basic" authorization, enter your credentials here as "username:password".

Example:

	require_once '/path/to/carp.php';
	CarpConf('proxyserver','http://proxy.mycompany.com');
	CarpConf('proxyauth','myusername:mypassword');
	CarpCacheShow('http://www.geckotribe.com/press/rss/pr.rss');

maxredir: The maximum number of redirects to follow before giving up (default 10).

Example:

	require_once '/path/to/carp.php';
	CarpConf('maxredir',5);
	CarpCacheShow('http://www.geckotribe.com/press/rss/pr.rss');

timeout: The number of seconds to wait during the "CONNECT" phase of setting up a TCP/IP connection before aborting the attempt to load the RSS feed. The default value is 15 seconds.

Example:

	require_once '/path/to/carp.php';
	CarpConf('timeout',30);
	CarpCacheShow('http://www.slowserver.com/newsfeed.rss');

sendhost: Specifies whether to send the "Host" header when connecting to a remote server. The host header almost never causes a problem, and it is necessary when accessing a server hosting multiple websites with the same IP address, unless the site being accessed is the default site. Valid values are:

0: Don't send the Host header.
1 (the default): Do send the Host header.

Example:

	require_once '/path/to/carp.php';
	CarpConf('sendhost',0);
	CarpCacheShow('http://www.unusualserver.com/newsfeed.rss');
