First I tried using urllib (python 2.4, win32) but I found that the http_proxy and no_proxy code were not implemented for win32. I have made changes to urllib and urllib2 so that they use the proxy set in either the windows registry or in an environment variable.
Question: How can I get this code added to the python distribution?
Then I found this script: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/277099
which uses twisted.web and does asynchronous requests, which is nice when you want to download a lot of rss feeds. But again it doesn't support a proxy, that I could find.
Question: Am i right that twisted.web.client does not support proxying?
Kind regards, Matthijs
ps. I am just starting with Python -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
