I ported my code to python and it works. I did make a few discoveries, though.
First, here's my python code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from functools import wraps
import requests
if __name__ == "__main__":
proxies = {
'https': 'https://127.0.0.1:8888',
}
print(requests.get("https://yummy.xyz.com/get-session";,
proxies=proxies, verify=False).json()['session'])
and here's the resulting raw packet that gets sent to my proxy
GET /get-session HTTP/1.1
Host: yummy.xyz.com
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress
User-Agent: python-requests/2.2.1 CPython/3.4.3 Linux/4.4.0-43-Microsoft
I thought maybe the verify=false is the part I was missing in my nim code, so I
changed it to this:
import httpclient, json, strutils, net
var client = newHttpClient(proxy=newProxy("http://127.0.0.1:8888";),
sslContext=newContext(verifyMode=CVerifyNone))
var session =
parseJson(client.getContent("https://yummy.xyz.com/get-session";))["session"].str
echo session
But that didn't change anything. verifyMode defaults to CVerifyNone in the
first place. Then I noticed my proxy url was http instead of https. When I
change it to https and run it again, the program hangs on the getContent call.
Eventually, it times out and I get this error:
error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
[SslError]
