Hello, I have an issue that has been frustrating me for a while now.
This is an update of a crosspost (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16703936/proxy-connection-with-python) which I made over a month ago. I have been attempting to connect to URLs from python. I have tried: urllib2, urlib3, and requests. It is the same issue that i run up against in all cases. Once I get the answer I imagine all three of them would work fine. The issue is connecting via proxy. I have entered our proxy information but am not getting any joy. I am getting 407 codes and error messages like: HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication Required ( Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. ) I think that this also stops me using pip to install (at least from remotes ). I get 'Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/". I end up using git to clone a local copy of the repo and install from that. However, I can connect using a number of other applications that go through the proxy, git and pycharm for example. When I run git config --get htpp.proxy it returns the same values and format that I am entering in Python namely: http://username:password@proxy:8080 An example of code in requests is import requests proxy = {"http": "http://username:password@proxy:8080"} url = 'http://example.org' r = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy) print r.status_code Thanks for your time and any suggestions gratefully received. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
