What is the context?

Cannot connect to Google Calendar using python REST library when using httplib2 inside my company network. Actually my company uses a squid proxy with user-agent filtering.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Support of PROXY_TYPE_HTTP_NO_TUNNEL with reverse dns (rdns = True)
2. Support HTTP proxy with User-Agent Http Header filtering

What is the expected output?

Proxy config done like this: my_proxy_info = httplib2.ProxyInfo(proxy_type = httplib2.socks.PROXY_TYPE_HTTP_NO_TUNNEL, proxy_host = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', proxy_port = xxxx, proxy_user = 'myLogin', proxy_pass = 'myPassword', proxy_rdns = True, proxy_user_agent = 'myCompanyUserAgent' ) Use of REST Google API with companies proxy.

What do you see instead?

• ServerNotFoundError for 1. HTTP_NO_TUNNEL and rdns = True
• httplib2.socks.HTTPError: (403, 'Forbidden') for 2. When User-Agent isn't correctly configured.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

• httplib2-0.7.4-py2.7
• google_api_python_client-1.0beta8-py2.7
• Windows XP
