Summary: urllib2 proxy does not work in 2.4.3

Initial Comment:
My python app had to retrieve some web pages and while 
our network environment requires proxy it uses urllib2 
opener (source is in attachment). It worked very well 
on older Python interpreters:
ActivePython 2.4.2 Build 248 (ActiveState Corp.) based 
on
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Oct 30 2005, 16:11:18) [MSC v.1310 
32 bit (Intel)] on win32

It works on linux with 2.3 and 2.4.1:
Python 2.4.1 (#2, May 5 2005, 11:32:06)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12)] on linux2

But it does not work with newest 2.4.3 on Linux:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 10 2006, 09:57:52)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2

Desired result:
isof-mark:~# python2.3 proxy_bug.py
trying http://www.python.org ...
OK.  We have reply from http://www.python.org.

I have raported it on ActiveState bug list (http://
bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47018) while I 
first spot this bug on their destribution but it seems 
that bug is in others distributions too.

I have just installed new virtual machine with Python 2.5b2 
and my program works.  It seems that only 2.4.3 is broken.

Regards,
Michal

You're sure you didn't copy over the urllib2.py from 2.5b2
also?  That might make the bug appear to go away, when
really it's still there.

The way to be sure is to try it on a different machine.

Thanks for your report.

I have checked that the last wersion my script works with 
is 2.4.2 and copied that version urllib2.py to 2.4.3 Lib 
directory.  It works again.  The only change in urllib2.py 
is in retry_http_basic_auth(), line 723:
 2.4.2
  user,pw = self.passwd.find_user_password(realm, host)
 2.4.3
  user, pw = self.passwd.find_user_password(realm, 
req.get_full_url())

So "host" is replaced by "req.get_full_url()".

Checked again with 2.5b2 and it works!
Probably I destroyed my test environment and tested
it wrong way :(

So the problem is only with 2.4.3.
Previous versions and 2.5b works well.

Michal Niklas

2.5b2 does not work any better:
Python 2.5b2 (r25b2:50512, Jul 11 2006, 10:16:14) [MSC 
v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Result is the same as in 2.5b1 :(

Can you please try with 2.5b1? A lot of urllib2 related bugs
have been fixed before this release.

Cannot add attachment via upload so I put it here:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: cp1250 -*-

import urllib
import urllib2

def get_page():
	url = 'http://www.python.org'
	print "trying %s ..." % (url)

	# Setup proxy & authentication
	proxy = "poczta.heuthes:8080"
	usr1 = "USER"
	pass1 = "PASSWD"
	proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http:/
/" + proxy})
	pass_mgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
	pass_mgr.add_password(None, "http://" + proxy, usr1, 
pass1)
	pass_mgr.add_password(None, proxy, usr1, pass1)
	auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(pass_mgr)
	proxy_auth_handler = 
urllib2.ProxyBasicAuthHandler(pass_mgr)

	# Now build a new URL opener and install it
	opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler, 
proxy_auth_handler, auth_handler, urllib2.HTTPHandler)
	urllib2.install_opener(opener)

	request = urllib2.Request(url)
	f = urllib2.urlopen(request)
	data = f.read()
	print "OK.  We have reply from %s.\nSize: %d [b]" % 
(url, len(data))
	if len(data) < 400:
		print data
	else:
		print data[:200]
		print "..."
		print data[-200:]

get_page()
