Hi I am behind a proxy server that needs proxy authentication. There are a lot of libraries that come without proxy support. The function below, which is part of the python-twitter library does HTTP Authentication, and I can't figure out how to do this with a ProxyBasicAuthHandler object. I'm pasting the function here. Can someone tell me how this code can be rewritten to do proxy authentication as well as http authentication?
def _GetOpener(self, url, username=None, password=None): if username and password: self._AddAuthorizationHeader(username, password) handler = self._urllib.HTTPBasicAuthHandler() (scheme, netloc, path, params, query, fragment) = urlparse.urlparse(url) handler.add_password(Api._API_REALM, netloc, username, password) opener = self._urllib.build_opener(handler) else: opener = self._urllib.build_opener() opener.addheaders = self._request_headers.items() return opener -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
