This library created to allow usage of Secure Web Proxy with aiohttp library. It only works with uvloop now due to inability of loop.start_tls() to start tls in tls connection with standard asyncio loop (for updates on this you can check this issue).

Requirements

• aiohttp
• uvloop

Usage

To use this library import HTTPSProxyConnector and use it in aiohttp.ClientSession. Then session can be used as any other aiohttp session:

from aiohttp_https_proxy import HTTPSProxyConnector

connector = HTTPSProxyConnector(proxy_link, proxy_connection_timeout, insecure_requests)
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector) as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
        ...

HTTPSProxyConnector inherits TCPConnector and has three additional parameters:

• proxy_link - used to pass link to proxy server. It can be with credentials in format https://username:password@host:port, or without https://host:port. http proxies also can be used.
• proxy_connection_timeout - used to set wait time for response from proxy server to CONNECT request (10 seconds by default)
• insecure_requests - when set to True allows connection to proxy server without SSL certificate verification. Can be useful when using proxy servers that have no hostname, only ip. In most cases should be ok to use default value - False

If there is a need to update proxy in context of current session (without creating a new one), then set_new_proxy function can be used:

connector = HTTPSProxyConnector(proxy_link, proxy_connection_timeout, insecure_requests, force_close=True)
session = aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector))
...
session.connector.set_new_proxy(proxy_link, proxy_connection_timeout, insecure_requests)

Important: force_close for connector should be set to True if set_new_proxy is used, else connection will not be updated and same proxy will be used.
