Bug description:  fopen_wrappers and http headers as client

Hello,

In my php project (phpDig, a small robot/search engine), i needed to send
"Cookie: ..." HTTP header when i use the file() function with http
fopen_wrappers.
I needed this in order to spider sites setting cookies (session, selected
language, etc...).

The only solution i found was inserting my custom headers in the ini
constant "user_agent" with ini_set.

This works, but i mean that could be removed in an future release of PHP
:

ini_set('user_agent','phpdig/1.6'."\n".'Cookie: foo=bar'."\n".'Cookie:
bar=foo');

Of course, setting other client headers in "user_agent" is not very good.

I suggest to add another ini constant ("http_client_headers" ?) that will
contain those headers. I mean it would be useful.

Best regards,
Antoine Bajolet
