Using python-jira through a proxy server

[Jeffrey_Cameron]

Hi all,

I need to connect to my jira instance through a proxy server. Any ideas on how I can go about this? I didn't see anything in the documentation for this scenario.

Thanks

This I guess is a python query, how about this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5620263/using-an-http-proxy-python ?

just add _.session.proxies to your JIRA instance

e.g. : 

my_jira = JIRA(jira_options, basic_auth=(jira_admin, jira_passwd))
my_jjira._session.proxies = {'http': '127.0.0.1:8888', 'https': '127.0.0.1:8888' }

This does not work for me.

I am unable to create the instance of the JIRA class without connecting to the server because of the proxy problem.

How can we use it? If we need the object to apply the proxy settings... and we need the proxy settings applied in order to create the object...

Any help here?

Many thanks,

I was actually able to get it to work by enabling the proxy server in my internet options.
