I wrote a parsing proxy from a file and sending the data I needed on the page. How now to launch a web driver through a proxy?

# -*- coding: utf8 -*- import os import sys from selenium import webdriver from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool path = os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])) phantomjs_path = r'/var/www/goodwin/hulk/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs' def proxyread(): try: with open(path+'/proxy-rus.txt', 'rb') as proxyfile: proxylist = proxyfile.read().split('\n') except Exception: with open(path+'/proxy-rus.txt', 'wb') as proxyfile: n.write() proxylist = False return proxylist def poster(): comm = unicode(' ', 'utf8') browser = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=phantomjs_path, service_log_path=os.path.devnull) browser.set_window_size(1024, 768) browser.get("https://example.com") browser.implicitly_wait(5) browser.find_element_by_id(r"reply").click() browser.implicitly_wait(0.1) browser.find_element_by_name(r"comment").send_keys(comm) browser.find_element_by_css_selector(r'input[id=subject]').send_keys(comm) browser.find_element_by_css_selector(r'input[id=name]').send_keys(comm) browser.find_element_by_css_selector(r'input[type=file]').send_keys(r'1.jpg') browser.find_element_by_name(r"submit").click() poster()

    The short answer is that selenium most likely uses the system proxy. In different operating systems, it is set differently, your KO.

    More information in the selenium help: http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp

    For PhantomJS, use the following code:

     service_args = [ '--proxy=127.0.0.1:9999', '--proxy-type=socks5', ] browser = webdriver.PhantomJS('../path_to/phantomjs',service_args=service_args)
