how to use a proxy?

[Steven Adams]

to get it using httplib use something like

import httplib

PROXYHOST = 'proxy.mt.net.au'
PROXYPORT = 8080

url = 'http://www.someserver.somedomain/the_File_I_Want_To_Get.html'

h = httplib.HTTP(proxyhost, proxyport)
h.putrequest('GET', url)
h.putheader('Accept', 'text/html')
h.endheaders()

errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()
print errcode # Should be 200

f = h.getfile()
data = f.read() # Get the raw HTML
f.close()
