Is python a twisted HttpClient access framework?

Question

I need to access a webpage using

twisted.web.client.getPage()

or a similar method for downloading a web page from a known address (for example: www.google.com), the problem is that I am behind a proxy server, and I could not find explanations on how to configure twisted or factories to use my proxy, any ideas?

Keep in mind that I must specify the user, password, host and port. On my Linux-machine I installed http_proxyand https_proxyinhttp://user:pwd@ip:port

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.web import client

def processResult(page):
    print "I got some data", repr(page)
    reactor.callLater(0.1, reactor.stop)
def dealWithError(err):
    print err.getErrorMessage()
    reactor.callLater(0.1, reactor.stop)

class ProxyClientFactory(client.HTTPClientFactory):
    def setURL(self, url):
        client.HTTPClientFactory.setURL(self, url)
        self.path = url

factory = ProxyClientFactory('http://url_you_want')
factory.deferred.addCallbacks(processResult, dealWithError)

reactor.connectTCP('proxy_address', 3142, factory)
reactor.run()
