Thus, while setting the proxy as with in the below ways:
choice 1:
br.set_proxies({"http": "tim:abc1234@localhost:3128"})
O/P:
URLError: urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused
choice 2:
br.set_proxies({'http':'localhost',
'https':'localhost'})
O/P:
httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
choice 3:
br.set_proxies(
{"http": "tim:[email protected]:3128",
"ftp": "proxy.example.com"})
O/P:
URLError: urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known
