requests library not working while mitm proxy enabled

[mcg88]

Problem Description

Can't use requests library in script, throws following error:

in script mitm.py: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', timeout('_ssl.c:1034: The handshake operation timed out')))

Any idea how I can resolve this?

Please share some code that reproduces the problem, otherwise we can only make guesses.

class WsLog:
	def __init__(self):
		print('starting WSLogger')

		a = requests.get('https://www.google.com/', timeout=5)

		print('request done')

addons = [
	WsLog()
]

Here's what I'm seeing for both mitmdump 6.0.2 and 7.0.0-dev:

import requests

class WsLog:
  def __init__(self):
    print('starting WSLogger')

    a = requests.get('https://www.google.com/', timeout=5)
    print(a)

    print('request done')

addons = [
  WsLog()
]

mitmdump --quiet --scripts req.py 
starting WSLogger
<Response [200]>
request done

I'm going to close this. If you believe this is a bug in mitmproxy then please provide clear steps to reproduce it and re-open the issue.

I have the same problem and can't reproduce it immediately，it occured hours after proxy started.

it occured

What occurred? It's entirely normal for networks to fail occasionally or for Google (or your endpoint) to go down for a brief moment.
