in this option will override other values (such as
<literal>User-agent:</literal>, <literal>Host:</literal>,
and <literal>Authentication:</literal>),

<title>Underlying socket stream context options</title>
<simpara>
Additional context options may be supported by the
<link linkend="transports.inet">underlying transport</link>
For <literal>http://</literal> streams, refer to context
options for the <literal>tcp://</literal> transport. For
<literal>https://</literal> streams, refer to context options
for the <literal>ssl://</literal> transport.
</simpara>

<note>
<title>HTTP status line</title>
<simpara>
When this stream wrapper follows a redirect, the
<literal>wrapper_data</literal> returned by
<function>stream_get_meta_data</function> might not necessarily contain
the HTTP status line that actually applies to the content data at index
<literal>0</literal>.
</simpara>

'wrapper_data' =>
array (
0 => 'HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently',

4 => 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK',
...

</screen>
<simpara>
The first request returned a <literal>301</literal> (permanent redirect),
so the stream wrapper automatically followed the redirect to get a
<literal>200</literal> response (index = <literal>4</literal>).
