I want to connect to a https server through an authenticating proxy like this:
import urllib2 proxy_info = { 'user' : 'me', 'pass' : 'password', 'host' : 'mycompany.com.au', 'port' : 8008 } # 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.securewebsite.com.au') print f.headers print f.read() f.close() If I modify the 'https' to 'http' it works fine. But in https mode it returns: URLError: <urlopen error (8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol')> The site works fine if I do not go through the proxy, so it appears the proxy is not returning an EOF. I been searching for an answer, and found many other sites where people have had the same problem. Some have suggested m2crypto. Is there a work around using the standard 2.4.1 installation? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
