  There is no way to do this without changing libxml2 code and recompiling.
Point is that libxml2 C API allows to override the default functions
used for ftp and http, so basically when people have specific requests
like that they can use another implementation (like curl):
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlIO.html#xmlRegisterInputCallbacks
I don't know if this is available at the PHP level.
