Right. It was my failure. Better to read my posting before send.
Yesterday i used it like my example but with PROXY* Paramater. worry? :-)

The fast and bad way is URL-injection like this:
http://username:password@example.com/...

The other and better way is to change youre code at line:
$headers.="Authorization: Basic root:password_root".$br.$br;

to:
$headers .= 'Authorization: Basic '
. base64_encode('root:password_root') . $br . $br);

The RFC says username:password must be Base64 encoded.

By the way: A good PHP-Library for doing something more with
http/ftp/... (by a easy way) is Snoopy.
http://sourceforge.net hosts it.
