I think this is caused by the fact that socks5 proxies are not supported? $ cat ~/issue34038.py from urllib.request import urlopen, HTTPError url = 'http://icanhazip.com' u = urlopen(url) $./python.exe ~/issue34038.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/dwallace/issue34038.py", line 4, in <module> u = urlopen(url) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 222, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 524, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 541, in _open result = self._call_chain(self.handle_open, protocol, protocol + File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 502, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 804, in <lambda> meth(r, proxy, type)) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 832, in proxy_open return self.parent.open(req, timeout=req.timeout) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 524, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 546, in _open return self._call_chain(self.handle_open, 'unknown', File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 502, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/Users/dwallace/workspace/cpython/Lib/urllib/request.py", line 1386, in unknown_open raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type) urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: socks5> Though the error message could be better. You can work around this by setting the default socket. import urllib.request import socket import socks url = 'http://icanhazip.com' socks.set_default_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, "localhost",port=8888) socket.socket = socks.socksocket print(urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()) ---------- nosy: +Daniel Wallace _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34038> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
