HTTP Proxy: Broken, or Misconfiguration?

[Jamie Jackson]

I've pip-installed httplib2 and socksipy-branch.

>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("socksipy-branch").version

'1.02'

>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("httplib2").version

'0.7.7'

I am also running a local HTTP proxy, which I've tested through curl.

However, I can't seem to use the proxy with httplib2:

import httplib2, socks

url = "http://www.google.com"

http = httplib2.Http( proxy_info = httplib2.ProxyInfo(3, 'localhost', 8888) )

#http = httplib2.Http()

headers, response = http.request(url, 'GET')

print response

Am I doing something wrong, or is there still a problem with httplib2's proxy support?

Thanks,

Jamie
