Can we use auth proxies?

[cosmicsplendor]

How could we accomplish something like this using hrequests?

import requests

proxies = {
   'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080',
   'https': 'http://proxy.example.com:8081',
}

response = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'))

[cosmicsplendor]

This library supports normal http proxies (example: http://proxy.example.com:8080).

But I couldn't get it to work with proxies that require username password authentication (example: http://username:[email protected]:8080).

I'd appreciate if you could me know whether and how this could be achieved.

@cosmicsplendor hey, are able to find any workaround with this lib?

I haven't been able to get this to work yet. Will update here if I find a workaround.

this works, but you have to rely on requests library to create session:

import requests
import hrequests

proxies = {
'http': 'http://USERNAME:[email protected]',
'https': 'http://USERNAME:[email protected]'
}

session = requests.Session()
session.proxies.update(proxies)

response = hrequests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', session=session)
print(response.text)

@cosmicsplendor What hrequests version do you use? It worked for me with v0.7.1.

>>> import hrequests
>>> response = hrequests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', debug=True, verify=False, proxies=proxies)

Mine is v0.7.1 too. I tried hard, but could not make it work. Normal proxies work fine, but when I try authentication, it always fails.

to use proxy in sessions you can do like this:
session = hrequests.Session()
session.proxy = 'http://username:password@host:port'
