The following piece of code works as expected when running in a local install of django apache 2.2
fx = urllib2.Request(f);
fx.add_header('User-Agent','Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/1.0.154.36 Safari/525.19');
url_opened = urllib2.urlopen(fx);
However when I enter that code into IDLE on the same machine I get the following error:
url_opened = urllib2.urlopen(fx);
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 124, in urlopen
return _opener.open(url, data)
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 387, in open
response = meth(req, response)
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 498, in http_response
'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 425, in error
return self._call_chain(*args)
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 360, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 506, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication Required
Any ideas?
