"Connection aborted" and "Cannot connect to proxy"

Question

When the code bellow is running

import requests
monitor_r = requests.get(monitor_url, proxies=proxies, timeout=60*4)

I get these exceptions:

('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",))
# and 
('Cannot connect to proxy.', error(32, 'Broken pipe')))

What are these errors and how to fix them?

lol, that probably means proxy is not good. Check out these exceptions - that should help you understand what is what :-) http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/api/#exceptions — Md. Mohsin, Oct 13 '14 at 20:10

This link suggests that it is caused at the httplib level.

It may be caused by trying to connect to a https url using http try using https:// and see if it works...
Double check your url doesn't contain any dodgy characters
Check your proxy is accepting headers
