I want to use httplib through a proxy server and I can't seem to get
it to work. Someone in this group suggested setting an environment
variable, like:
SET http_proxy="12.189.130.200:80"
This didn't help. Here is a sample session:
Python 1.5.1 (#0, Nov 18 1998, 12:17:58) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import httplib
>>> h=httplib.HTTP('www.yahoo.com')
Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "C:\PROGRAM
FILES\PYTHON\lib\python1.5\httplib.py", line 51, in __init__ if host:
self.connect(host, port) File "C:\PROGRAM
FILES\PYTHON\lib\python1.5\httplib.py", line 79, in connect
self.sock.connect(host, port) File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: host not found
>>>
For any given test site, I have no problem with a normal web browser,
but I can't get past this error with Python. Am I missing something
obvious?
Thanks,
