Programmatically make HTTP requests through proxies with Python

Question

How do I use Python to make an HTTP request through a proxy?

What do I need to do to the following code?

urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com')

Answer 1

The urlopen function supports proxies. Try something like this:

urllib.urlopen(your_url, proxies = {"http" : "http://192.168.0.1:80"})

Answer 2

You could look at PycURL . I use cURL a lot in PHP and i love it. Though there is probably a neat way to do this currently in Python.
