Hi Everyone, I have been extensively using Python's urllib2 while developing a project with the Google Data API. The Google Data API uses httplib to place all of its requests. However I have been using urllib2 and some handlers that I discovered in an ASPN article to handle HTTPS proxies in my code.
The Google Data API relies on an environment variable called https_proxy to get information about the proxy to be used. However urllib2 starts spitting out the BadStatusLine exception if the https_proxy environment variable is found. Has anyone experienced similar things with urllib2? Is this a bug in the urllib2 libraries or am I completely missing something here? Attached is a dump of the error messages. Any experiences/information/ finding are welcome. Thanks for your time. Regards, Devraj ------ Notice the BadStatusLine exception at the end of the error messages, the https_proxy variable is not even used by the code in anyway. I have also implemented simpler examples of the code to demonstrate the same.
