Public bug reported: Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS python-urllib3 version: 1.7.1-1build1
Steps to reproduce: 1. set up an http proxy 2. configure a ProxyManager to use said http proxy 3. make successive GET requests to https://pypi.python.org/ example script: https://gist.github.com/stratoukos/7545c5c909fa9b5d1cfb What happens: urllib3 stops using the http proxy after the connection is dropped (after 24 requests in my testing with pypi. other people have seen different numbers) What I expected to happen: urllib3 should always use the proxy Other Info: This has been fixed in commit 1c30a1f3 of urllib3 and included in its 1.8.3 release. This bug also affects pip and requests as reported here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1805 I really hope the bugfix will be backported, since pip is currently unusable behind an outgoing firewall on 14.04 ** Affects: python-urllib3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1412545 Title: proxy isn't used after a dropped connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-urllib3/+bug/1412545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
