Finally I solved the problem by using

fopen( "http:remote_url", "wb" ) ;

This actually behaves like a GET call, so appended variables can be passed to the 
remote script.

Cheers

  I use the GET call to pass URL parameters to a remote script that executes. So it is 
a form of a RPC.

  local script: header( "location:http://remote_script.php?foo=bar";)

  The remote script is with my ISP; it is a way for me to program scheduled tasks on a 
shared server at my ISP (obviously I do not have access to task scheduling there)

  It works well without a proxy, but now I am looking for a way to do the same through 
a proxy.

  Thanks
