could you tell me what should I do ?

 Asked by anonymous on Tuesday, 21 August, 2018 06:54:17 AM

Welcome to the community!

Usually a socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed is caused when the code is being called from behind a firewall or proxy. Please ensure the application has access to port 80.

Thank you for the answer.

Yes,It's the problem of proxy.It runs OK when I change the other PC which have not proxy.

How can it work with proxy?

 Answered by anonymous on Tuesday, 21 August, 2018 09:30:49 AM

This will be a new feature. We are looking if we can alter the Python client to enable using proxy servers.

If it is possible we will get back to you with a fix. You can have a go yourself if you like as all of our clients are open source: https://github.com/GrabzIt/grabzit/blob/master/python/GrabzIt/GrabzItClient.py

 Answered by GrabzIt Support on Tuesday, 21 August, 2018 12:20:04 PM

We have added the new feature. Just download the GrabzItClient.py file and replace your copy from here: https://github.com/GrabzIt/grabzit/blob/master/python/GrabzIt/GrabzItClient.py

You can then set the proxy url of your proxy server lusing the new SetLocalProxy method, for example:

grabzIt.SetLocalProxy("http://123.123.123.123:21231")

Please let us now how it goes and we will do a new release soon!

Thank you for the answer.

I replaced the GrabzItClient.py and changed my source :

 

 

grabzIt = GrabzItClient.GrabzItClient(APPLICATION KEY, APPLICATION SECRET)

grabzIt.SetLocalProxy("http://xxx@jp.xxxxx.com:yyyyyyy@zzz.proxy.zzz.zzzzzzz.com:8080")

grabzIt.HTMLToDOCX("<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>") 

grabzIt.SaveTo("documents/result.docx") 

 

user:xxx@jp.xxxxx.com

password:yyyyyyy

proxy server:zzz.proxy.zzz.zzzzzzz.com

port:8080

 

error message:

same error message even I changed SetLocalProxy from "http://xxx@jp.xxxxx.com:yyyyyyy@zzz.proxy.zzz.zzzzzzz.com:8080" to "http://xxx%40jp.xxxxx.com:yyyyyyy@zzz.proxy.zzz.zzzzzzz.com:8080"

sorry,may be I set the wrong proxy.

I changed the proxy to "http://the_other_proxy_server:port" and error message became:

You need to specify your username and password like so: http://username:password@example.com:12335

 Answered by GrabzIt Support on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 05:38:10 AM

Yes,I specified my username and password (question on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 09:34:43 AM) like :

http://username:password@example.com:12335

username is Email address (xxx@jp.xxxxx.com) so I changed to xxx%40jp.xxxxx.com

but it's the same error message:TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

 Answered by anonymous on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 05:50:49 AM

Sorry, I missed your previous response. I think this is a Python 3 issue and have released a fix that should solve the error. Please can you update GrabzItClient.py again from: https://github.com/GrabzIt/grabzit/blob/master/python/GrabzIt/GrabzItClient.py

 Answered by GrabzIt Support on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 06:40:47 AM

I replaced python file and find new error message:

    headers['Proxy-Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + encodedAuth

 Answered by anonymous on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 08:39:24 AM

Ok, we have decoded it into ascii. We aren't using Python 3, which is why it caught us out. Please update your code from here: https://github.com/GrabzIt/grabzit/blob/master/python/GrabzIt/GrabzItClient.py

As this is open source, feel free to debug and commit any improvements you want to Github. As we don't have access to your setup.

 Answered by GrabzIt Support on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 09:22:01 AM

Many thanks for your help.

OSError: Tunnel connection failed: 407 Proxy Authentication Required

I will try to debug. 

 Answered by anonymous on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 10:23:31 AM

We think we know what the issue is, however it will require re-writing some of the code. So we will contact you when done. Hopefuly in 24 hours.

 Answered by GrabzIt Support on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018 12:15:22 PM

I believe we have fixed the issue! You can get the latest versiom here: https://github.com/GrabzIt/grabzit/blob/master/python/GrabzIt/GrabzItClient.py

We have made some minor improvements to: https://github.com/GrabzIt/grabzit/blob/master/python/GrabzIt/GrabzItClient.py

And have tested it in Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.6 and it works in all enviroments, with and without proxies and with authorized proxies.

If it is still not working for you, you will need to debug the code.

 Answered by GrabzIt Support on Thursday, 23 August, 2018 11:41:44 AM

Thank you for reply.

I will debug my source.

By the way, did you tested the username which is Email like xxx@yyy.com ?

 Answered by anonymous on Thursday, 23 August, 2018 11:56:46 AM

No, I didn't that would need to be properly encoded and decoded so maybe that is the problem.
