urllib2, https, and proxies

Hello all (well, some of you I guess),

Is it true that you can't configure a proxy handler for urllib2 to
fetch https URLs through a proxy ?

I know that you pass a dictionary, keyed by protocol, to the proxy
handler - but when we get an exception when we fetch an https URL.

Fetching the same URL, through the same proxy, with a browser works
fine.

Sorry I can't post code and a traceback - can do that tomorrow if
necessary.

Best Regards,

Fuzzy

Until now, i know that ftplib doesn't support proxies and that i have to use urllib2. But i don't know how to use the urllib2 correct. I found some examples, but i don't understand them. Is there anyone who can help me?

I just tried this: >>> import urllib2 >>> urllib2.urlopen( "https://passenger.ssc.com/~dmarti/contrib-faq/" ) It sits forever. Loading that URL in a normal browser gets me a popup asking about server certificate authenticity, which presumably is what urllib2 is blocking at. How can I prepare my code for this eventuality and ensure it doesn't block?

urllib2 (under windows) will auto-detect your proxy settings and use those. Normally that's a good thing (I guess), except when it's not ! How do I switch off this behaviour ? I'm behind a censoring proxy and wanting to test things *locally*. IE is set to not use the proxy when fetching local adresses, but urllib2 ignores that part of the setting and uses the proxy for everything.

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.

I've been using urllib2 to try and automate logging into the google adsense page. I want to download the csv report files, so that I can do some analysis of them. However, I don't really know how web forms work, and the examples on the python.org/doc site aren't really helpful. I've found working scripted login code using javascript, but I don't speak javascript. These are the relevant functions:

I see from googling around that this is a popular topic, but I haven't seen anyone saying "ah, yes, that works", so here it goes. How does one connect through a proxy which requires basic authorisation? The following code, stolen from somewhere, fails with a 407: proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://the.proxy.address:3128"}) proxy_auth_handler = urllib2.ProxyBasicAuthHandler() proxy_auth_handler.add_password("The...

Hi again, According to https://demo.launchpad.net/products/python/+bug/56872 or more specifically, the example of its working code: http://librarian.demo.launchpad.net/3507227/urllib2_proxy_auth.py I can use urllib2 via proxy to access a https site(specifically hooking it up to libgmail). The problem is that the proxy that is accessible to me is http/port8080 only. Is it possible to use urllib2 with this proxy to access a https site?...
