Proxy Server in Python
If we want to browse some website
through another server so that the browsing remains anonymous then we make use
of the Proxy server. It is also used to bypass the blocking of specific IP
addresses.
Let’s see how we can do it?
Python provides a method known as
urlopen method which is in urllib module of python. It helps us to access the
webpage bypassing the proxy server address as a parameter.
Proxy servers are used
to browse to some website through another server so that the browsing remains
anonymous. It can also be used to bypass the blocking of specific IP addresses.
We use the urlopen the method from the urllib module to access the website bypassing the proxy server
address as a parameter.
Example
Let’s try to access the twitter
website for anonymous access. If everything works fine, we will receive the
response status of OK.
import urllib
web_URL = 'https://www.twitter.com'
PROXY_ADDRESS = "265.24.11.6:8080"
if __name__ == '__main__':
resp = urllib.urlopen(web_URL, proxies = {"http" : PROXY_ADDRESS})
print("Proxy server returns response headers: %s " %resp.headers)
The output of the above code:
Proxy server returns response headers: cache-control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, pre-check=0, post-check=0
content-length: 145960
content-type: text/html;charset=utf-8
