I am trying to send a request to an API I have set up on an AWS machine.
The code I use is as follows:
import requests
import json
report_dict = {
"client_name": "Wayne Enterprises",
"client_id": 123,
"report_type": "api_testing",
"timestamp_generated": "2015-07-29T11:00:00Z",
"report_data": {"revenue": 9000.00}
}
report_json = json.dumps(report_dict)
resp = requests.post("https://my-url.com:8080/my-api/reports", data=report_json,verify=False)
Doing this, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

But when I send the request as http instead of https, it (usually) works fine. I've found some evidence that this can have to do with proxy servers, but I am not using one. Are there any other potential reasons for this error? This is a website only available on my company's local network, if that's relevant.
.... https://my-url.com:8080/my-api/reports
...But when I send the request as http instead of https, it (usually) works fine.
My guess is that you are trying the same port 8080 for http and https. But, servers usually listen on a single port either for http or https and not both. This means that if your client is trying to start the TLS handshake needed for https against this port it will get a plain error message back. The client then tries to interpret this error message as TLS and returns some weird error messages, because the response is not TLS at all.

Basically i get this error with every single https proxy I've tried on every website.
Code:
import requests
endpoint = 'https://ipinfo.io/json'
proxies = {'http':'http://45.167.95.184:8085','https':'https://45.167.95.184:8085'}
r = requests.get(endpoint,proxies=proxies,timeout=10)
Error:

And when I only use http
import requests
endpoint = 'https://ipinfo.io/json'
proxies = {'http':'http://45.167.95.184:8085'}
r = requests.get(endpoint,proxies=proxies,timeout=10)
The request is sent but websites that return public ips show my real ip. Both requests (2.27.1) and urllib3 (1.26.8) are update to their lastest versions, what could the issue be?
How to escape # character in the password of proxy. So that python can create the request correctly. I have tried \\ but still not able to hit the url correctly.
proxy = {
"http": "http://UserName:PassWord#X.X.X.X:Port_No"
}
Update question:
I am using python requests module for the http request. It split the string (to get host) from first occurrence of # where as it was suppose to split from second #.

You have to do urlencoding like in this post:
Escaping username characters in basic auth URLs
This way the # in the PW becomes %40
You don't mention which library you are using to perform your HTTP requests, so you should consider using requests, not only to solve this problem, but because it is a great library.
Here is how to use a proxy with basic authentication:
import requests
proxy = {'http': 'http://UserName:PassWord#X.X.X.X:Port_No'}
r = requests.get("http://whereever.com", proxies=proxy)
Update
Successfully tested with requests and proxy URLs:
http://UserName:PassWord#127.0.0.1:1234
http://UserName:PassWord##127.0.0.1:1234
http://User#Name:PassWord#1234#127.0.0.1:1234
If, instead, you need to use Python's urllib2 library, you can do this:
import urllib2
handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://UserName:PassWord#X.X.X.X:Port_No'})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)
r = opener.open('http://whereever.com')
Note that in neither case is it necessary to escape the #.
A third option is to set environment variables HTTP_PROXY and/or HTTPS_PROXY (in *nix).
I want to debug some python requests using charles proxy.
I need to include the certificate for charles on the call, but is not working
import requests
endpoint_url = 'https://www.httpsnow.org/'
r = requests.get(endpoint_url, verify=True, cert='/Users/iosdev/DopPy/charles.crt')
print "empexo"
print r
I have added the https address on Charles,
I get on Charles:
SSLHandshake: Remote host closed connection during handshake
and on python the log with error
empexo

I found this thread while I was troubleshooting a similar issue. In the scenario I ran into the cert argument was being used to define the path to a ".crt" file when the verify argument should have been used instead.
The correct usage ended up looking like:
requests.get(endpoint_url, verify='/path/to/file.crt')
See Requests' documentation for more details: https://2.python-requests.org/en/v1.1.0/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification
As an aside, I find employing Request's ability to specify the path to a ".crt" via the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE environmental variable more effective when using Charles Proxy for local debugging.
Running something like the following in shell saves having to specify the path to Charles' ".crt" for every Requests call:
REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/path/to/file.crt
export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE
I am trying to get headers of url using python using http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ this tutorial. I am trying following code in python idle , I am getting following error,

Looks like github is denying you access to the requested page. Before attempting to request pages in python try typing them into the browser to see what is returned. When I did this I was returned some JSON stating
{
"message": "Requires authentication",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3"
}
If you want to test your code and find headers of a webpage, try a publicly accessible webpage before delving into APIs.
Authenticated proxy through python-requests returns the following error:

>>> requests.get('https://api.github.com/',proxies=proxies,verify=False)

How do I troubleshoot?
Requests has support for HTTP proxies just since 2.0: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/pull/1515
BTW, it does respect proxy environment variables, so you can just set:
export http_proxy="http://username:password#proxy.company.com:8080"
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
More details about the state of proxy support in requests 1.x can be found in this blog post: https://lukasa.co.uk/2013/07/Python_Requests_And_Proxies/
Your proxy is indeed HTTP not HTTPS. To use proxy with HTTPS it needs to use connect protocol, not HTTP, with presumably CONNECT basic auth. Now I do not have a HTTPS proxy with auth available, and do not know how to install such system, but what happens if you have just "https://username:password#proxy.company.com:8080" there instead?
On the other hand, you might want to make sure that requests/urllib3 are up to date. See this bug report.
