I have a question about python mechanize's proxy support. I'm making some web client script, and I would like to insert proxy support function into my script.
For example, if I have:
params = urllib.urlencode({'id':id, 'passwd':pw})
rq = mechanize.Request('http://www.example.com', params)
rs = mechanize.urlopen(rq)
How can I add proxy support into my mechanize script?
Whenever I open this www.example.com website, i would like it to go through the proxy.
Answer
I'm not sure whether that help or not but you can set proxy settings on mechanize proxy browser.
br = Browser()
# Explicitly configure proxies (Browser will attempt to set good defaults).
# Note the userinfo ("joe:password@") and port number (":3128") are optional.
br.set_proxies({"http": "joe:[email protected]:3128",
"ftp": "proxy.example.com",
})
# Add HTTP Basic/Digest auth username and password for HTTP proxy access.
# (equivalent to using "joe:password@..." form above)
br.add_proxy_password("joe", "password")
