How to resolve Proxy endpoint failure : Unknown error while getting Nuxt Builds: [Errno 22]

Resolving the Issue with Oxylabs Proxy Endpoint and aiohttp_proxy

When using a proxy provider like Oxylabs, you typically connect to your proxies using an endpoint such as isp.oxylabs.io in the format:
type://username:[email protected]:port

However, the aiohttp_proxy library cannot use such an endpoint, as converting the IP address to an integer results in an error when using the endpoint.

Solution

I resolved this issue by using Python's socket library in bot/utils/proxy.py.

Here are the modifications made:

• In the get_proxy_dict() function, replace hostname=proxy.host with:

  hostname=socket.gethostbyname(proxy.host),
  
  

• In the get_proxy_string() function, add a condition to handle the endpoint:

  if "isp.oxylabs.io" in proxy:
      proxy = proxy.replace("isp.oxylabs.io", socket.gethostbyname("isp.oxylabs.io")),
  
  

I am now looking for a cleaner, persistent, and non-hardcoded solution to help others facing the same issue with their proxy provider. Any ideas?
