How to make https request in python 3.4 through proxy?

Question

Python

I need to make an https request (GET and POST) to the server through a proxy (HTTP, SOCKS5) or without them. urllib does not support SOCKS5 requests. Httplib2 doesn't want to work through a proxy at all. What other options will there be?

Answer 1

If you don't mind third party libraries, try requests.

import requests
proxies = {
  "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
  "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}
requests.get("https://example.org", proxies=proxies)

Answer 2

There is a fork of a relatively old version of requests that can work with SOCKS proxies - requesocks .
In the future, this functionality should migrate to requests.

Answer 3

Try grab, there are both normal and SOCKS proxies.
