I've recently configured my network such that I use squid as a http
proxy. I'd now like to be able to use setuptools and ez_setup via this
proxy. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
The most that the setuptools documentation says is
( http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools):
"....If you are behind an NTLM-based firewall that prevents Python
programs from accessing the net directly, you may wish to first install
and use the APS proxy server, which lets you get past such firewalls in
the same way that your web browser(s) do....."

The key thing is just that Python's urllib module needs to be able to
retrieve web pages and download files. Try pulling up your Python
interpreter and retrieving a page with urllib. If it works, you're
good to go, and no need to bother with anything else.
If it doesn't work, try Jay's suggestions for setting environment
variables, or consult the urllib doc and/or code for more details on
how urllib finds out what proxy to use.

Yeah, I mention this because by far the most common cause of problems
for Windows users is that they're behind one of those infernal
NTLM-based firewalls and thus can't use urllib unaided.

The distutils-sig mailing list is the best place to ensure you get an
answer relatively quickly, since I don't subscribe to this list, just
skim it from time to time.

Hi,
This is really an urllib2 question ...
setup an environment variable "HTTP_PROXY " that points to your proxy
server, of the form:
user:password@s erver:port
urllib2 doco will probably have more details
Ray Smith
Thanks guys,
Incidentally, I had already tried setting the env variable $http_proxy
but that didn't seem to work.
That being said, I'm moving this discussion to the distutils-SIG
mailing list while I carry out some tests.
Thanks again.
It appears that it was my proxy config that was flakey. setup tools
works like a charm. :$ This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
My first post on this newsgroup as I have a very strange problem with a WSE

with HTTPS but not with HTTP ?! I am really talking about the same code and
only changing the server url.
The problem is due to the HTTP proxy authentification but we don't
understand why. Using EtherReal, we can see in both cases that the WS client

Hello,
I would be grateful if someone could point me to an existing and working
http proxy implementation that satisfies the following requirements :
- as small and simple as possible, ideally no dependencies outside python
- easy to customize (for controlling outgoing http headers for instance)
- supports chaining to another remote proxy
I have spent some time on the list at :

Hey there
Soon we will have many squid proxies on many seperate connections for use
by our services. I want to make them available to users via a single HTTP
proxy - however, I want fine-grained control over how the squid proxies
are selected for each connection. This is so I can collect statistics,
control usage on each proxy, monitor what's going on - etc. However I
don't want to implement the HTTP proxy protocol in Python, and would...

I was using the FtpWebRequest class in .NET 2.0 for an FTP transport over
SSL. It is working well, however the new requirement for my application is
to tranfer files via an HTTP proxy. The FtpWebRequest class supports such a

download files and list directories (so the transfer is read-only). The
problem is that the application is transferring files both ways - to...

Hi all,
I've recently written an HTTP proxy server for the Motorola E815 cell

Internet access if you change the default proxy server, but it has a

no Content-Length header. Basically, it's impossible to read normal

I want to implement FTP over HTTP proxy.
Is there any free open source code in 'C' for FTP proxy ?
or Open source code in 'C' for HTTP <-> FTP Conversion .
Also suggest me the useful links for its implementation.
I have also checked the implementation in squid and other HTTP proxy.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
