• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arun Raghavan (RETIRED) 2006-10-10 05:06:26 UTC]

Layman doesn't support authenticated proxies (this is a urllib limitation).

Created attachment 99280 [details, diff]
uses urllib2 to enable proxy support

I'm very new to Python so this might not be a good way to do this.

urllib2 offers more sophisticated ways to handle proxy authentication (by adding handlers), but these did not work for me.

Ah, thanks. I'll have a look at that.

FWIW, this patch applies as-is to 1.0.9 and 1.0.10 as well.

Hi Gunnar ... any chance of getting this included?

[Comment 5 Gunnar Wrobel (RETIRED) 2007-02-11 12:26:45 UTC]

In principle yes since this is the last bit of functionality I wanted to include in layman. I just didn't have much time looking at it recently and if I understand your second comment correctly, the patch you supplied does not work correctly. Or did I misinterpret your comment?

Umm ... actually you misunderstood ... it applies just fine to each of the latest versions of layman.
