I’ve setup Putty to create a Socks proxy to a server. I’m able to use Chrome and Firefox to get to the host. When I use requests I get an error that seems to indicate something wrong with the connection to Putty. I’ve tried to set the HTTP_PROXY env variable and I’ve tried to pass the proxies argument. The env variable method produces a “failed to parse” error and the proxies method produces the max retries exceeded.
Setting the env produces this error when calling requests.get("http://10.122.116.17:8080/")
requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions.LocationParseError: Failed to parse: Failed to parse: "localhost:1088"
Passing the proxies argument produces this error when calling requests.get("http://10.122.116.17:8080/",proxies=proxies)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=1088): Max retries exceeded with url: http://10.122.116.17:8080/ (Caused by <class 'httplib.BadStatusLine'>: '')
I’ve installed Wireshark and am filtering on my proxy server which is at 216.255.67.119. When I run Firefox I see traffic to this address. When I run Python Requests I don’t see any traffic to the server. So I suspect that the proxy mechanism in requests is not getting to my Putty session.
Does anyone have any hints or suggestions what might be happening here? I’ve googled until my fingers hurt!
Thanks in advance!!!
Here’s what the server looks like when I use Firefox…
