comics-grabber

me is happie after making the comics-grabber work through the proxy at office. Was trying with the urllib2 + proxyhandler as it not working.

urllib2 with proxy

import urllib2

proxy_info = {
    'user' : 'username',
    'pass' : 'password',
    'host' : "proxy",
    'port' : 80 # or 8080 or whatever

}

# build a new opener that uses a proxy requiring authorization
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : \
   "http://%(user)s:%(pass)s@%(host)s:%(port)d" % proxy_info})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler)

# install it
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

# use it
f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
print f.headers
print f.read()

TODO:
- Check how to open it in browser?
- patch to comics-grabber for proxy support. Man! I had a need for this for a long time.
