[New-bugs-announce] [issue22041] http POST request with python 3.3 through web proxy

[Alejandro MJ]

New submission from Alejandro MJ:

I'm trying this specific method with python, in order to use a different ip source, to do a POST request: 

import http.client, urllib.parse
data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'QLastname': 'DIAZ HERNANDEZ', 'QFirstname': 'JAIME'})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded","Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("www.infobel.com",80, source_address=("16.19.109.51", 0))
conn.request("POST", "/es/spain/people.aspx", data, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print(response.status, response.reason)
data = response.read()
conn.close()

It works perfectly when I test it without a proxy, but when I try with proxy connection, I receive this error:

>>> conn.request("POST", "/es/spain/people.aspx", data, headers)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 1090, in request
    self._send_request(method, url, body, headers)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 1128, in _send_request
    self.endheaders(body)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 1086, in endheaders
    self._send_output(message_body)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 924, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 859, in send
    self.connect()
  File "C:\Python34\lib\http\client.py", line 836, in connect
    self.timeout, self.source_address)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\socket.py", line 509, in create_connection
    raise err
  File "C:\Python34\lib\socket.py", line 500, in create_connection
    sock.connect(sa)

TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] Se produjo un error durante el intento...

How could I follow proxy configuration in this script? 

This is the code I made to test with proxy (following the documentation of Python):

import http.client, urllib.parse
data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'QLastname': 'DIAZ HERNANDEZ', 'QFirstname': 'JAIME'})
headers={"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded","Accept":"text/plain"}
conn = http.client.HTTPConnection(proxy_url,8080, source_address=(ipAddress, 0))
conn.set_tunnel("www.infobel.com")
conn.request("POST", "/es/spain/people.aspx", data, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print(response.status, response.reason)
data = response.read()
conn.close()

I could't make it work in this SO:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL = 2 

The message that proxy give us is this:

2014-07-22 08:31:49 87 16.19.109.51 23.2.2.22 - - - PROXIED "none" -  200 TCP_ACCELERATED CONNECT - tcp www.infobel.com 80 / - - - 23.2.2.22 39 39 - 
2014-07-22 08:31:49 1  16.19.109.51 23.2.2.22 - - dns_unresolved_hostname PROXIED "none" -  404 TCP_ERR_MISS POST - http cachebdvg1.igrupobbva 8080 /es/spain/people.aspx - aspx - 23.2.2.22 815 230 - 

So I tried to prove it in other SO, such as Windows, in a different computer. A curious thing... I've tried this with Python3.4.1 in Windows, and it didn't work. But when I proved with Python3.3.5 it works!! 

Thanks for help.
