[issue12480] urllib2 doesn't use proxy (fieddler2), configed the proxy with ProxyHandler

[Or]

Or <yellowslider at gmail.com> added the comment:

I have fieddler2 listening on 0.0.0.0:8888.

this code is suppose to use the proxy on my localhost.

try:
    proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': '127.0.0.1:8888'})  //also tried {'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:8888/'}
    opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
    urllib2.install_opener(opener)
    req = urllib2.Request('http://www.google.com')
    response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    the_page = response.read()
        print the_page
except Exception, detail:
    print "Err ", detail

I don't see the GET or any request to google in fieddler (but I can see other requests) is there a way to debug it? is seems like python bypasses fieddler or ignores the proxy.

the code is working, but it's not using the proxy to fetch google, it bypasses the proxy.

I also configured win7 to work with fieddler -

C:\Windows\system32>netsh winhttp set proxy 127.0.0.1:8888

Current WinHTTP proxy settings:

    Proxy Server(s) :  127.0.0.1:8888
    Bypass List     :  (none)

In order to check if the code is using the porxy I've changed fieddler to require proxy authentication and I had to use a user\pass on my browser when browsing, run the python code again and it worked, so it defiantly doesn't use the proxy.
