httplib2 does not detect proxy configuration #159

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install httplib2 0.7.1 and socksipy-branch 1.0.2 on a system that requires 
an HTTP proxy for external access.
2. import httplib2; httplib2.Http().request('http://www.google.com')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Based on using urllib2 and httplib, I would expect the connection to go through 
the proxy servers as defined in the environment variables http_proxy or 
https_proxy and no_proxy.

Instead, the connection times out.

Opening the same URL with urllib2 works just fine.

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

0.7.1 on Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 10.04

Please provide any additional information below.

Requiring the client to do proxy detection and configuration (as the current 
API seems to enforce). Someone writing against httplib2 who wants to support 
both proxied and non-proxied environments must perform the detection and set up 
their httplib2.Http objects based on the results.

At the very least, httplib2 should expose functions for detecting and 
configuring using the de-facto standard of environment variables. The principle 
of least surprise says this configuration should be called automatically such 
that httplib2 can be used in as similar fashion as urllib2 and httplib.
