[issue8238] Proxy handling very slow

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

If this is still a problem, you should narrow down what is causing the slowdown. If you interrupt it, what is the stack trace?

My best guess is perhaps there is a bypass hostname setting and a slow or failing DNS lookup. A call to urllib.proxy_bypass() was added in 2.6.4 for Issue 6894, and in 2.6.5 the Windows registry implementation called gethostname() and gethostbyname(). Perhaps this is fixed by Issue 1648102.
