Summary: urllib doesn't handle proxy exceptions
Initial Comment:
When using urllib in a firewall environment when a
proxy is set, the proxy will be used for all
connections regardless of if the host is located
inside or outside the firewall. Localhost is a good
example of this.
Under a windows environment the registry contains a
proxy exception list which contains patterns which
match hosts that should not be directed through the
proxy. This should be used.
Under other environments perhaps an environment
variable be used to determine the exceptions
eg
http_proxy_expceptions
= "*.mydomain.com;*.myotherdomain.com"
Localhost should never be directed through a proxy.
