Python requests API using proxy for https request get 407 Proxy Authentication Required

Question

I\'ve been struggling with my company proxy to make an https request.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPProxyAuth

proxy_string = \'http://user:         


        

Answer 1

I personally solved the above problem on my system by updating the environment variables http_proxy,https_proxy,socks_proxy,ftp_proxy.

First enter the command on your terminal : printenv

This should show you the environment variables on your system.

In my case intially: http_proxy=http://proxyserver:port/

I changed it to : http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy:port/

using the command export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxy:port/"

Similarly for https_proxy,socks_proxy,ftp_proxy
