New submission from masato:
When urllib2 module is used, https connections to servers that BasicAuth is
required, via proxies, can not be established properly.
Sample code:
import urllib2
def main():
url = "https://example.com/aplication/rpc";
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':
'http://proxy.server.com:8080/','https': 'http://proxy.server.com:8080/'})
pass_mngr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
pass_mngr.add_password(None, url, 'user', 'password')
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(pass_mngr)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support,auth_handler)
req = urllib2.Request(url)
f = opener.open(req)
print f.read()
"opener.open" method throws an exception.
I found a similar case at http://bugs.python.org/issue7291. However, this issue
indicates a case of authentication at a proxy server. In my case, the origin
server uses basic authentication.
The origin server address is not set in Request URI in the https request in
case of using proxy servers, because https request gets encripted with SSL when
it passes through proxies.
urllib2 works well for the first on-going request and in-comming return.
However, after the first in-comming return (401 code), urllib2 module sends a
worng request that includes the origin server URL.
I suggest modification for set_proxy method in Request class.
Original code:
def set_proxy(self, host, type):
if self.type == 'https' and not self._tunnel_host:
self._tunnel_host = self.host
else:
self.type = type
self.__r_host = self.__original
self.host = host
As a value is already set to tunnel_host when the second out-going request is
sent, "self.type == 'https' and not self._tunnel_host" is false.
Code suggested:
def set_proxy(self, host, type):
if self.type == 'https' and not self._tunnel_host:
self._tunnel_host = self.host
else:
self.type = type
if self.type != 'https':
self.__r_host = self.__original
self.host = host
regards.
