Two ways, either set follow_location to false and/or max_redirects to 0.

$context = [

    'header' => "custom-header: custom-value\r\n" . "custom-header-two: custome-value-2\r\n",
    'content' => $data,
    'follow_location' => false,
    ]
];

$context = [
    'http' => [
    'method' => 'get',
    'header' => "custom-header: custom-value\r\n" . "custom-header-two: custome-value-2\r\n",
    'content' => $data,
    'max_redirects' => 0,
    ]
];
