Hi, The following piece of code works properly when my proxy password contains characters[a-zA-Z0-9] etc. But when my proxy password contained something like '|\/|' , the httplib incorrectly indentified it as separator. How do I resolve this issue.
<code> # Proxy Address PROXY_IP = "1.1.9.8:80" # Trying with linear way proxy_user = 'user_name' proxy_password='|\/|something' # Setup the Proxy with urllib2 proxy_url = 'http://' + proxy_user + ':' + proxy_password + '@' + PROXY_IP proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http":proxy_url}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support,urllib2.HTTPHandler) urllib2.install_opener(opener) </code> I get the Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\forge\ngwallp\ngwall.py", line 35, in ? data = urllib2.urlopen(site) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 130, in urlopen return _opener.open(url, data) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 358, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 376, in _open '_open', req) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 337, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 1021, in http_open return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 980, in do_open h = http_class(host) # will parse host:port File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 586, in __init__ self._set_hostport(host, port) File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 598, in _set_hostport raise InvalidURL("nonnumeric port: '%s'" % host[i+1:]) httplib.InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: '|\' Thanks, Senthil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
