New submission from Stefano Mazzucco: Hello,
at work, I am behind a proxy (squid) that is only available over http. So, I have to configure both the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables to be something like "http://proxy.corp.com:8181"; Now, when I try and use urllib to open an "https" url, the proxy returns "501 Not Implemented". The quick and dirty script below is a minimal demonstration of the problem that appears on both python 2.7 (tested on 2.7.6, 2.7.9, 2.7.10) and 3.4 (tested on 3.4.0 and 3.4.4) try: import urllib opener = urllib.URLopener() except AttributeError: # Python 3 import urllib.request opener = urllib.request.URLopener() url = 'https://www.python.org' print("Trying to open", url) opener.open(url) Changing the url to "http://"; works OK. Thanks, -- Stefano ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 246515 nosy: stefano-m priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib URLopener().open https url returns 501 Not Implemented when https_proxy env var is http:// type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24599> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
