aiohttp-proxy

aiohttp-proxy

SOCKS proxy connector for aiohttp. HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4(a) and SOCKS5(h) proxies are supported.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.5.3
• aiohttp >= 2.3.2 # including v3.x

Installation

pip install aiohttp_proxy

Usage

aiohttp usage:

import aiohttp
from aiohttp_proxy import ProxyConnector, ProxyType


async def fetch(url):
    connector = ProxyConnector.from_url('http://user:password@127.0.0.1:1080')
    ### or use ProxyConnector constructor
    # connector = ProxyConnector(
    #     proxy_type=ProxyType.SOCKS5,
    #     host='127.0.0.1',
    #     port=1080,
    #     username='user',
    #     password='password',
    #     rdns=True
    # )
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector) as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.text()

aiohttp-socks also provides open_connection and create_connection functions:

from aiohttp_proxy import open_connection

async def fetch():
    reader, writer = await open_connection(
        socks_url='http://user:password@127.0.0.1:1080',
        host='check-host.net',
        port=80
    )
    request = (b"GET /ip HTTP/1.1\r\n"
               b"Host: check-host.net\r\n"
               b"Connection: close\r\n\r\n")

    writer.write(request)
    return await reader.read(-1)

Why give aiohttp a new proxy support

First must declare, our code is based on aiohttp-socks, thank you very much for the hard work.

But in order to more flexible support for multiple proxy methods (not just SOCKS proxy), we decided to fork [aiohttp-socks] (https://github.com/romis2012/aiohttp-socks), which is currently based on it.

Combine with native aiohttp to provide HTTP/HTTPS proxy instead of writing troublesome discriminating code based on the type of proxy.
