Python: Tor not connecting with a certain website

Question

I am trying to access a specific website with Python and Tor, but somehow it just loads forever and no response comes.

import requests
import socks
import socket

url = 'http://www.ryanair.com'

socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, '127.0.0.1', 9150)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket

response = requests.get(url)
#no response comes

Some weeks ago it was working. In addition, the same code works still fine for other sites. My guess would be that it is not a problem on my side, but on the website's side, but I have no clue what can be wrong.

Any ideas of what can be and how it could be solved?

Edit:

If I run the command:

curl --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150 -vvv http://www.ryanair.com

I get:

* Rebuilt URL to: http://www.ryanair.com/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 9150 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: www.ryanair.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.49.1
> Accept: */*
> 
< HTTP/1.1 302 Found : Moved Temporarily
< Location: https://www.ryanair.com/
< Connection: close
< Cache-Control: no-cache
< Pragma: no-cache
< 
* Closing connection 0

Trying with https:

$ curl --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150 -vvv https://www.ryanair.com
* Rebuilt URL to: https://www.ryanair.com/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 9150 (#0)
* TLS 1.2 connection using TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
* Server certificate: www.ryanair.com
* Server certificate: GeoTrust SSL CA - G3
* Server certificate: GeoTrust Global CA
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: www.ryanair.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.49.1
> Accept: */*
>
#...and it remains here

Edit 2:

I just tried to load this website directly at the Tor browser and it will also keep loading without end.

Answer 1

It will be difficult to run diagnostics without access to your proxy server, but in general, if you're debugging a request, curl is your most invaluable tool.

This should help:

curl --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150 -vvv http://www.ryanair.com

The -vvv will show you information about the request and the response. That will show you whether your request is well structured or whether the server response is at fault.
