Httplib2 ignored global proxy setting

[wally-yu]

Dear Httplib2 team,

this issue puzzled me a while, you know somehow, some place in the world have to use proxy to connect to google and google API. I use "Shadowsocks", lol.

The problem is when I set Shadowsocks to global mode, means all my local traffic will go through Shadowsocks proxy.

Weird thing is when I use "requests" it works fine, see blow code:
import requests
print requests.get("http://www.google.com").content
print 'this works fine'

However I tried to use httplib2, I got error 'httplib.ResponseNotReady':
import httplib2
h = httplib2.Http()
(resp_headers, content) = h.request("http://www.google.com", "GET")
print 'this will throw httplib.ResponseNotReady error'

if this would be useful to you, here are the callstack:
File "D:\virtualenv\env\lib\site-packages\httplib2\__init__.py", line 1659, in request
(response, content) = self._request(conn, authority, uri, request_uri, method, body, headers, redirections, cachekey)
File "D:\virtualenv\env\lib\site-packages\httplib2\__init__.py", line 1399, in _request
(response, content) = self._conn_request(conn, request_uri, method, body, headers)
File "D:\virtualenv\env\lib\site-packages\httplib2\__init__.py", line 1355, in _conn_request
response = conn.getresponse()
File "C:\Python27\Lib\httplib.py", line 1108, in getresponse
raise ResponseNotReady()
httplib.ResponseNotReady

Could you please suggest in my situation, how I can use httplib2 and access to Google Analytics API?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand how "shadowsocks global mode" is supposed to affect httplib2.

Most likely, duplicate of #53 If that is case, your best option right now is to use Python3.

Dear Sergey,

i don't know how shadowsocks implemented, but once i made the setting, everything from my machine will go through it (including all browsers).

I tried python3.6, that didn't solve the problem, I got error mesage:
"TimeoutError: [WinError 10060]"

do you have any other suggestions?

[temoto]

Okay that's duplicate of #68

You need to know which proxy technology you want to use. For example, describe how you would configure any browser manually to use this proxy.

@wally-yu please try to update httplib2, new version should work with any proxy.
