[twill] [spam] Re: https from behind a proxy

[Benjamin Scherrey]

Hmm... I presume by "It's not supported!" you mean regarding the
standard python libraries rather than twill specifically? I did see the
2nd recipe you listed and that got me going doing httplib stuff but no
joy for twill as of yet. Thanx for the info.

It's not supported!

There's a patch on sourceforge, but it's done in an ugly way, so won't
go into the standard library until somebody does it properly.  I can't
actually find that patch on SF, but here's a couple of recipes (which I
don't vouch for -- and be prepared for some hacking):
