Proxy doesn't work if my local DNS server doesn't know hostname. For example, I need connect to http://api.intranet.dev/mailapi.php. However, intranet.dev is fake domain, it's doesn't exist in DNS, so I have to use proxy server 192.168.1.50:8000:

import httplib2 proxy_info = httplib2.ProxyInfo( proxy_type = httplib2.socks.PROXY_TYPE_HTTP, proxy_host = '192.168.1.50', proxy_port = 8000, proxy_rdns = True ) h = httplib2.Http(proxy_info = proxy_info) r, c = h.request('http://api.intranet.dev/mailapi.php')

It doesn't work:

ServerNotFoundError: Unable to find the server at api.intranet.dev

Problem is in the HTTPConnectionWithTimeout.connect(). There is:

for res in socket.getaddrinfo(self.host, self.port, 0, socket.SOCK_STREAM):

In my example socket.getaddrinfo can't reverse self.host. There is patch which solve this problem. However, only in python2 subtree, because I haven't used Python 3.

socks.py has been updated to latest.

socks.py has been updated to latest.

It doesn't look like this patch has been applied? Has it been fixed in some other way?

Hi it seems the patch is not applied in HttpLib2-0.7.4-py2.7. I make it working applying manually the content of proxy.patch provided in the first post to the current version of HttpLib2.
