I am aware there is a patch for using the REST API with a proxy and it works for me. But the Streaming API uses a HTTPConnection which cannot be emulated by urllib and urllib2 (as far as I know). Is there any fix for this?
I tried using proxy with port, but it did not work. In the streaming.py file, line 153.
if self.scheme == "http":
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(self.api.proxy_host,self.api.proxy_port, timeout=self.timeout)
else:
conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(self.api.proxy_host,self.api.proxy_port,timeout=self.timeout)
self.auth.apply_auth(url, 'POST', self.headers, self.parameters)
print conn.host
conn.connect()
conn.request('POST', self.scheme+'://'+self.host+self.url, self.body, headers=self.headers)
resp = conn.getresponse()
And, "self.scheme+'://'+self.host+ self.url" corresponds to - https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json?delimited=length
I get this error in return -

Finally found a github patch that enabled streaming api via proxy. It works just fine!
