GeneralProxyError: (5, 'bad input')
I looked into this. In socks.py, there is a type comparison of the type of
the destination address to the type of a blank string:
- # Do a minimal input check first
- if (not type(destpair) in (list,tuple)) or (len(destpair) < 2) or
(type(destpair[0]) != type('')) or (type(destpair[1]) != int):
+ # Do a minimal input check first
+ if (not type(destpair) in (list,tuple)) or (len(destpair) < 2) or
(type(destpair[0]) != type('')) or (type(destpair[1]) != int):
- In my case the type of destpair[0] is not type(''), it is unicode -
type(u''). I fixed the bug by modifying the above code in proxy.py as follows:
- # Do a minimal input check first
- if (not type(destpair) in (list,tuple)) or (len(destpair) < 2) or
(type(destpair[0]) != type('') and type(destpair[0]) != type(u'')) or
(type(destpair[1]) != int):
-
