Impossible to subscribe HTTPS feeds #36

Closed passiomatic closed 10 years ago

passiomatic commented 10 years ago

Requests gives the following exceptions:

AttributeError: VerifiedHTTPSConnection instance has no attribute '_tunnel_host'

E.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/

Ah, this seems to be a Python 2.6.2 shortcoming:

Actually apparently the _tunnel_host attribute was added to Python 2.6.3 and greater to support HTTPS proxies.

Confirmed to work perfectly under Python 2.6.7.
