Support for socks proxy (or downloader option?)

Open dindinw opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

The proxy support is for HTTP/HTTPS only, But unfortunately, I use a Socks5 proxy. Similar with #468, the downloader is fixed to urllib2 if it available , no option in setting file can be use to specify a curl /wget downloader and add extra args to support a Socks5 proxy. Any suggestion for this?

Not currently, mostly since I don't have any proxies to work with or test with. If you have some ideas, let's discuss them.

I think there are two options, one is to patch the current urllib2 downloader. another is to make downloaders configurable. So what's reason to fix the downloader internally by design? Because if #468 still have some difficulty to resolve. maybe patch the urllib2 downloader is the only choice.

An easy way to test connection through socks proxy is to use ssh somehost -D 1080 and then use localhost:1080 as a proxy.
