Thanks Martin. That means my code should work.
I am trying to go through a proxy, which works fine for HTTP sites.
However, when I try a HTTPS site, the program doesn't respond for quite
a while, and returns the error:
" File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 996, in do_open
raise URLError(err)
URLError: <urlopen error (8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol')>"
Here is my testing code:
import urllib2
proxy_info = {
'user' : 'me',
'pass' : 'mypassword',
'host' : 'proxy.mycompany.com',
'port' : 8008 } # settings taken from web browser
# build a new opener that uses a proxy requiring authorization
proxy_support =
urllib2.ProxyHandler({"https":"https://%(user)s:%(pass)[EMAIL
PROTECTED](host)s:%(port)d"
% proxy_info})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler)
# install it
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
# use it
f = urllib2.urlopen('https://www.directshares.com.au')
print f.headers
f.close()
Any ideas what is wrong?
