I've found myself behind a proxy this week, and probably next week, and the proxy support in core is quite broken, which is slowing me down but also giving me something new to work on... To unbreak pywikibot in my current environment, the online git repo version detection needs to be either rewritten to use a different http library, or needs to be disabled. This patch does the latter: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/137009/ The documentation for proxy support also needs to be revised: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/137273/ As I was fiddling with httplib2, I also tried to take bug 65189 which upgrades our externals to httplib2 v0.9. however, when I initiate a git review after having done a lovely merge, I see the following scary message. You are about to submit multiple commits. This is expected if you are submitting a commit that is dependent on one or more in-review commits. Otherwise you should consider squashing your changes into one commit before submitting. The outstanding commits are: 4ea82ce (HEAD, merge-0.9) Bug 65189: Merge upstream master (0.9) 7d1b88a (upstream/master) Create LICENSE 058a1f9 (tag: v0.9) Merge pull request #267 from jone/master c7656eb setup.py: remove download URL, update project URL dfb0d4a Fix Makefile for rename of README to README.md 84fd089 Release 0.9.

This breaks using an HTTP CONNECT proxy by preventing the socks module from ever seeing the original domain name. Using the orignal hostname and port seem to be the correct choice here as the socket library will resolve them and it would have already been cached. 53426c1 Converted MANIFEST to manifest template (MANIFEST.in) for setuptools compatibility 0dbe275 Added support for setuptools (if present, but still fall back to distutils).

Type 'yes' to confirm, other to cancel: Err, no? That is 140 changesets. ;-( Surely something is wrong... ;-) Looking at the upstream git history, they have had a few lines of concurrent development, and the current master is based on a different main line of development than the main line of development which was used for 0.8. (It looks like a hg<->git issue) So either we pull all those changesets in, cherry pick each commit separately to continue building on the old line of development, or flatten them out into a single changeset. (roughly in order of preference) Im guessing pulling those old changesets in through gerrit is going to create a lovely mess, so I cancelled. How should this be done? Can someone with git commit access 'just do it' without sending 140 patches through gerrit? Between 0.8 and 0.9 there are only two functional changesets which we need, if we wanted to only pull in these specific changesets. https://github.com/jcgregorio/httplib2/commit/cf958f3cf3f52c752dbc4fe343127… https://github.com/jcgregorio/httplib2/commit/0197ec868a4fc638c08358b94200f… The only other code changes are the following two, but they are almost certainly code paths that pywiki doesnt use. https://github.com/jcgregorio/httplib2/commit/9e1c4e5e56009e4c08ff446b30ec3… https://github.com/jcgregorio/httplib2/commit/3118243f371f56ba5b6cf9d7dfcea… -- John Vandenberg
