ExtProxy extend urllib2's ProxyHandler to support extra proxy types: HTTPS, SOCKS. It provides a consistent user experience like HTTP proxy for the users.
This script is using a non-side-effects monkey patch, it did not applied to build-in module socket, just inject some codes into Request, ProxyHandler, HTTPConnection, SSLContext method's processing. Don't need to worry about the patching, you can using everything like before, or you can unpatch it at any time.
Install from
pip install ExtProxy
Or download and Install from source code
python setup.py install
- Python >= 2.7
- Require PySocks to support SOCKS proxy type

# Restore monkey patch, then HTTPS, SOCKS proxy use can not continue working
