Python with Selenium -- using proxies?

[Delta223]

Guys, I'm having a tough time getting selenium to work with a proxy (both HTTP and SOCKS). Anyone else have this trouble and able to fix it?

You could try phantomJs combine with selenium, then you will be able to use proxy easily.
Here is an example that works:

Good info! I am also looking for a browser that shows a GUI so I can do partial automations as well.

What exactly is the problem? Are you getting timeouts? You have to be more specific.

With chromedriver I am encountering the following issue:

I am using an HTTP proxy in the above code. As noted, SOCKS also fails with the same error.

I am no expert, but I will try to make sense (whatever little I can).

The error thrown is by urllib, not by selenium.
I think the localhost service (which is your selenium server?) at port 4444 is not responding as it should, resulting in this error.
I have never encountered a urllib error when using chrome with the latest chromedriver, so I am pretty sure it has to do with remote driver (which might be using the urllib to connect to the remote selenium service?)

Maybe you should switch to webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="file/path/to/latestchromedriver")
