| The current xmlrpclib can't communicate through a proxy server. In particular, the two Transport classes contained within xmlrpclib use httplib directly and, as such, do not support the proxy handling as offered by urllib. Or so it seems. I'm in dire need of support for proxies in xmlrpclib and will be investigating creating a custom Transport class that uses urllib as opposed to httplib to gain support for proxies. Assuming success, I'll post the new transport class here. In the interim, I figured I would log a bug in case anyone else is interested in working on the problem (or already has a solution :). b.bum bbum@mac.com |

| Logged In: YES user_id=103811 As discussed on python-dev and with Fredrick Lundh, I created an HTTPTransport class that uses urllib2 to implement the HTTP transport. It works around a bug in urllib2 [handler ordering] and augments the request dispatch found in the Transport class. I'm using it in a production context and have tested it fairly heavily. |

| I will be second to emphasize the importance of using XML-RPC through a proxy. bzr behind a proxy can't be used with launchpad because of this bug. |

| Somebody else here in desperate need of this bug being fixed, both to talk to bazaar and bugzilla... |

| It's a missing feature, not a bug in the existing code. But if you're desperate, why not just use the transport implementation that's attached to this issue? |

| Well, strictly speaking, yes. It just feels like a rather major omission (when Python can do xmlrpc and handle proxies you hope it will handle the combination). "Desperate" doesn't really have a timeline, strangely enough :) I know I will be talking to bazaar and bugzilla behind a proxy in the mid-term future and it would be very useful to use an officially sanctioned solution (though of course I will try the attached file if there isn't one at the time). I see Python 2.6 is nearing release candidates : is this likely to be included or will we have to wait for 2.7 now? |

| Could someone take a look at this while investigating other xmlrpc issues e.g. #7727. |
