python JIRA connection with proxy

Question

I'm trying to connect via python-jira using a proxy:

server = {"server": "https://ip:port/jira",
          'proxies': {"http": "http://ip:port", "https": "http://ip:port"},
          'verify': False,
          'stream': True}

cls.jira_object = JIRA(options=server,
                       basic_auth=(user, password),
                       validate=True)

Traceback error:

tests\jira_test\ticket_test.py:52:

Any idea how to allow jira-python to connect with proxy?

Answer 1

You can provide the proxy to the constructor of JIRA:

cls.jira_object = JIRA(options=server,
                       basic_auth=(user, password),
                       validate=True,
                       proxies={"http": "http://ip:port", "https": "http://ip:port"})

Remember to remove the "proxies" from your options dict

Answer 2

It seems like it requires bit of a magic. Have a look here at this answer.

Here's code:

my_jira = JIRA(jira_options, basic_auth=(jira_admin, jira_passwd))
my_jjira._session.proxies = {'http': '127.0.0.1:8888', 'https': '127.0.0.1:8888' }

Answer 3

Easiest way is to set "HTTPS_PROXY" environment variable. I did it this way :

import os
os.environ["HTTPS_PROXY"]="https://genproxy:8080"
os.environ["HTTP_PROXY"]="http://ip:port"

Answer 4

This worked for me in python3.

server =  {'server': 'https://<jira.url.com>','proxies':"http://%s:%s@<ip>:<port>"%(proxy_user,proxy_password),'verify':True}

jira_object = JIRA(options=server,basic_auth=(jira_user,jira_password),                     validate=True)

Another option :

import os
from jira import JIRA 

os.environ['https_proxy']='<proxy url>:<port>'
os.environ['http_proxy']='<proxy url>:<port>'
con = JIRA(basic_auth=(<username>,<password>),options={'server':'<jira_url>'})
