To access an XML-RPC server through a proxy, you need to define a custom transport. The following example, written by NoboNobo, shows how:
import xmlrpclib, httplib
class ProxiedTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport):
def set_proxy(self, proxy):
self.proxy = proxy
def make_connection(self, host):
self.realhost = host
h = httplib.HTTP(self.proxy)
return h
def send_request(self, connection, handler, request_body):
connection.putrequest("POST", 'http://%s%s' % (self.realhost, handler))
def send_host(self, connection, host):
connection.putheader('Host', self.realhost)
p = ProxiedTransport()
p.set_proxy('proxy-server:8080')
server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://time.xmlrpc.com/RPC2', transport=p)
print server.currentTime.getCurrentTime()
