Does this work with a http_proxy?

Does this work with a http_proxy? I am getting a timeout error.

@fountainhead , this plugin uses requests to perform http request, so you can get help on setting proxy by http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#proxies

@fountainhead , I don't have proxy environment, you need to try it by yourself, sorry.

@xjsender thanks for your response. Can you please guide me where to set the configuration for HaoGist? I've never really used Python and hence wondering if you can help out.

The code from the Gist package which does this is below:

def api_request_native(url, data=None, token=None, https_proxy=None, method=None):
    request = urllib.Request(url)
    # print('API request url:', request.get_full_url())
    if method:
        request.get_method = lambda: method
    token = token if token != None else token_auth_string()
    request.add_header('Authorization', 'token ' + token)
    request.add_header('Accept', 'application/json')
    request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')

    if data is not None:
        request.add_data(bytes(data.encode('utf8')))

    # print('API request data:', request.get_data())
    # print('API request header:', request.header_items())
    https_proxy = https_proxy if https_proxy != None else settings.get('https_proxy')
    if https_proxy:
        opener = urllib.build_opener(urllib.HTTPHandler(), urllib.HTTPSHandler(),
                                     urllib.ProxyHandler({'https': https_proxy}))

        urllib.install_opener(opener)

    try:
        with contextlib.closing(urllib.urlopen(request)) as response:
            if response.code == 204:  # No Content
                return None
            else:
                return json.loads(response.read().decode('utf8', 'ignore'))

    except urllib.HTTPError as err:
        with contextlib.closing(err):
            raise SimpleHTTPError(err.code, err.read())

@fountainhead , just set environment variable for your operation system, you don't need to know anything about python.

@xjsender

Thank you. I don't want to do this through the environment variable so that other code I have does not break.

I got this working as follows.

import urllib.request as urllib

  proxyDict = {
              "http"  : "http://user:%23Cpassword%23C:server:port",
              "https" : "http://user:%23Cpassword%23C:server:port"
            }


self.res = requests.get(GIST_BASE_URL % "gists?per_page=1000", 
                headers=self.headers, proxies=proxyDict)

Is there a way I can add proxies globally so that every request call is not to be modified?

[xjsender]

I will release a new version to allow you to do it. thanks.

@fountainhead , release v0.2.4 is available, I have added a new setting named http_proxies to perform request by proxies.
