Is there any reason why urllib uses environment variables for proxy
settings on Win32? Its quite unlikely they will be set up and there is a
standard registry location for this information.
I've added retrieval of registry settings to my copy of urllib and it
seems to work OK athough I'm not running off CVS and I recall the winreg
module has changed recently. Here is the code going just after the "if
os.name == 'mac'" proxy handling.
elif os.name == 'nt':
def getproxies():
"""Return a dictionary of scheme -> proxy server URL mappings.
Win32 uses the registry to store proxies.
"""
proxies = {}
try:
import winreg
internetSettings = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet
Settings");
proxyEnable = winreg.QueryValueEx(internetSettings,
"ProxyEnable")[0]
if proxyEnable:
# Returned as Unicode but problems occur if not converted to
ASCII
proxyServer = str(winreg.QueryValueEx(internetSettings,
"ProxyServer")[0])
if ";" in proxyServer: # Individual per-protocol
settings
for p in string.split(proxyServer,";"):
protocol, address = string.split(p, "=")
proxies[protocol] = '%s://%s' % (protocol, address)
else: # Use one setting for all protocols
proxies['http'] = 'http://%s' % proxyServer
proxies['ftp'] = 'ftp://%s' % proxyServer
internetSettings.Close()
except: # proxies already set up to be empty so nothing to do
pass
return proxies
