Proxies with Python 'Requests' module

Question

Just a short, simple one about the excellent Requests module for Python.

I can\'t seem to find in the documentation what the variable \'proxies\' should contain. Whe

Answer 1

here is my basic class in python for the requests module with some proxy configs and stopwatch !

import requests
import time
class BaseCheck():
    def __init__(self, url):
        self.http_proxy  = "http://user:pw@proxy:8080"
        self.https_proxy = "http://user:pw@proxy:8080"
        self.ftp_proxy   = "http://user:pw@proxy:8080"
        self.proxyDict = {
                      "http"  : self.http_proxy,
                      "https" : self.https_proxy,
                      "ftp"   : self.ftp_proxy
                    }
        self.url = url
        def makearr(tsteps):
            global stemps
            global steps
            stemps = {}
            for step in tsteps:
                stemps[step] = { 'start': 0, 'end': 0 }
            steps = tsteps
        makearr(['init','check'])
        def starttime(typ = ""):
            for stemp in stemps:
                if typ == "":
                    stemps[stemp]['start'] = time.time()
                else:
                    stemps[stemp][typ] = time.time()
        starttime()
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.url)
    def getrequests(self):
        g=requests.get(self.url,proxies=self.proxyDict)
        print g.status_code
        print g.content
        print self.url
        stemps['init']['end'] = time.time()
        #print stemps['init']['end'] - stemps['init']['start']
        x= stemps['init']['end'] - stemps['init']['start']
        print x


test=BaseCheck(url='http://google.com')
test.getrequests()
