Adding proxy to Firefox driver - Selenium - Python

Question

I am trying to add proxies in Firefox driver (which do have authentication). Though I set the proxy by the below code, it is not clear to add authentication for the proxies.

 myProxy = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80" proxy = Proxy({ 'proxyType': ProxyType.MANUAL, 'httpProxy': myProxy, 'ftpProxy': myProxy, 'sslProxy': myProxy, 'noProxy': '' }) driver = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxy) 

I have gone through this answer for authentication but it is also not working.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Here is what I was (finally) able to get to work. I wasn't able to change the port - I didn't see anything to do that in the proxy.py file either, but I will admit I didn't look too hard since my proxies are on port 80 anyway.

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy proxy_use= "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" desired_capability = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX desired_capability['proxy'] = { 'proxyType': "manual", 'httpProxy': proxy_use, 'ftpProxy': proxy_use, 'sslProxy': proxy_use, } queryURL = "https://insert.yourwebsitetocheckip.here" browser = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=desired_capability) browser.get(queryURL) 

I have my function doing a lot more than this, so I just pulled out the relevant part. Looking at this quickly you might not have to import Options - try it without and see if it works.
