I am trying to use Chrome along with python webdriver + selenium, but it seems not working when I set the proxy settings? Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
PROXY = 'http://42.115.88.220:53281'
chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % PROXY)
chromeOptions.add_argument("ignore-certificate-errors")
wbe = webdriver.Chrome(options=chromeOptions)
wbe.get("http://icanhazip.com")
When I run the above codes, the browser gives me: "This site can’t be reached" error:
This site can’t be reached
The connection was reset.
Try:
- Checking the connection
- Checking the proxy and the firewall
- Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
Some Efforts: I tried requests with my proxy server, and it works. So it shouldn't be the problem of my proxy server.
import requests
proxies = {"http": "http://42.115.88.220:53281"}
r = requests.get("http://icanhazip.com", proxies = proxies)
print (r.status_code)
This gives me a response code of 200 and good response.
Goal: My final goal is to build a web-crawler with headless chrome with PROXY, so now I am testing a non-headless one first. But it seems there have been something wrong with this PROXY issue.
I would be really appreciated if anyone could help me out with this problem!!!
