Hi John, It's for some funky stuff that won't really come into it's own until version 5 of PHP.
ATM, you can use stream_context_XXX family of functions to do: o Set notification callbacks. These can be used to implement progress bars for event driven applications. o Set parameters for the various URL wrappers. For http you can set the user-agent header. The context can be shared between multiple streams, and once the curl library has enough hooks, the curlwrappers will use the context to do things like store session cookies. There is a documentation bug about this that might have a little bit more info. --Wez.
