Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Eric Johnson (eggsy) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Python 2.3.3 urllib proxy support fails Initial Comment: Using Python 2.3.3 on Win2K and Win98 the urllib module does not seem to support proxies as described in the documentation. I have the http_proxy environment variable set and urllib2.urlopen can successfully access the web via the proxy. Trying urllib.urlopen results in a IOError: [Errno socket error] (7, 'getaddrinfo failed') exception which suggests that it is not using the proxy. This occurs both with an explicit proxy defined and when using the environment variable. See attached file for an example script. I could not see any reference to proxies in the urllib test script so I wonder whether this has been tested. I have not (yet) tried to investigate why this does not work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-02-20 20:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Proxy support has recently been improved in urllib. Can you test whether it works now? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Date: 2004-01-08 15:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764593 Do you need to authenticate to your proxy? The default getpass will fail instead of asking for a password if it thinks there is an eavesdropper - and idle counts as an eavesdropper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=872736&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
