Python proxy

This folder contains a simple python proxy server which can be used locally to manually test the proxy connection of the SDK. This is by no means a full proxy and only does the basic intercepting and forwarding of calls. For more complex proxy use cases, it is suggested to use production level proxies such as Squid or nginx.

Getting the server address if running in a dev container

If you run the server in a devcontainer, make sure to see on what docker ip is running on the host. Use the following command on the host running docker

docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                                   COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                    NAMES

Select CONTAINER ID

docker inspect 58db33d661be

"NetworkSettings": {
            "Bridge": "",
            "SandboxID": "50f05a67594ec49e2c8df5698ccb324fb9ffe2f1fd3b85d484dce1bc1e1c1cc2",
...
            "Networks": {
                "bridge": {
                    ....
                    "Gateway": "172.17.0.1",
                    "IPAddress": "172.17.0.4",
                    ....
                }
            }
...

Select IPAddress for your http_proxy, for instance on another container:

export http_proxy=http://172.17.0.4:8080
curl -v www.microsoft.com
