title: Tunneling httplib Through a Proxy
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to send data to a server through a proxy. I was hoping this would be possible through tor but being as tor uses SOCKS it apparently isn't possible with httplib (correct me if I am wrong)</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have right now</p>
  
  <pre><code>import httplib
  con = httplib.HTTPConnection("google.com")
  con.set_tunnel(proxy, port)
  con.send("Sent Stuff")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is, it seems to freeze when the tunnel is set. Thanks for your help.</p>
