[issue8238] Proxy handling
New submission from Ciprian Trofin ciprian.tro...@ktd.ro: After I installed Python 2.6.5, I noticed a drop in performance of web connections via proxy. This script: - import time import urllib2 timeMark = time.time() opener = urllib2.build_opener() textWeb = opener.open(http://www.google.com/;).read() print time.time() - timeMark - takes about 60 seconds to complete (consistently) The same script, run using Python 2.6.2 is completed in less than 1 second (0.2seconds) The test system: - Windows XP SP3 - internet connection via corporate connection, using a proxy (the proxy is set in Control Panel - Internet Options etc) -- components: None messages: 101742 nosy: ciprian.trofin severity: normal status: open title: Proxy handling type: performance versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8238 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8238] Proxy handling
Ciprian Trofin ciprian.tro...@ktd.ro added the comment: I attached a screenshot. The proxy is on the corporate network. I'm not setting it up, I'm only using it. Internet Explorer needs that setting in order to connect. Firefox needs this proxy set as manual proxy configuration. I looked deeper into the situatioan, usign the following (modified) script: --- import time import urllib2 timeMark = time.time() opener = urllib2.build_opener() proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({http : http://10.249.1.63:80}) opener.add_handler(proxy) textWeb = opener.open(http://www.google.com/;).read() print time.time() - timeMark --- The only difference from the script above: I set up the proxy manually. I tested the new script in 2.6.5 With Windows proxy active: same problem, long waiting time. With Windows proxy disabled: fast execution. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16667/proxy.png ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8238 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
