Python urllib2 HTTPS and proxy NTLM authentication

Question

urllib2 doesn\'t seem to support HTTPS with proxy authentication in general, even less with NTLM authentication. Anyone knows if there is a patch somewhere for HTTPS on prox

Answer 1

Late reply. Urllib2 does not support NTLM proxying but pycurl does. Excerpt:

self._connection = pycurl.Curl()
self._connection.setopt(pycurl.PROXY, PROXY_HOST)
self._connection.setopt(pycurl.PROXYPORT, PROXY_PORT)
self._connection.setopt(pycurl.PROXYUSERPWD,
                        "%s:%s" % (PROXY_USER, PROXY_PASS))
