Hello,
I have defined a function to set an opener for urllib2, this opener
defines any proxy and http authentication that is required.
If the proxy has authencation itself and requests an authenticated file
I get a HTTP status code of 401 (Unauthorized access of the file being
requested) I do see in the headers the Proxy-authorization and the
Authorization headers being sent for the request.
Just to clarify, if I do not go through a proxy that has authentication
then I can get the file just fine.
Here is my code for the opener:
def setOpener(realm='', host='', uName=None, pWord=''):
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler)
if len(settings.globalProxySetting) > 0:
proxies = {'http' : settings.globalProxySetting, 'https' :
settings.globalProxySetting}
if not uName == None:
password_mgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
password_mgr.add_password(None, host, uName, pWord)
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler(proxies),
auth_handler, urllib2.HTTPHandler)
else:
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler(proxies),
urllib2.HTTPHandler)
else:
if not uName == None:
password_mgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
password_mgr.add_password(None, host, uName, pWord)
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler)
else:
opener = urllib2.build_opener(opener)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
ps: settings.GlobalProxySetting is defined as a string, for example:
non-authenticated proxy: "http://192.168.1.1:3128";
authenticated proxy: "http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128"
Thanks in advance,
Ray
