.. _proxy: ========================= Enable HTTP Proxy Support ========================= .. note:: If you have any issues working through this quickstart guide or the other tutorials here, please either send a message to the `mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/sleekxmpp-discussion>`_ or join the chat room at `sleek@conference.jabber.org <xmpp:sleek@conference.jabber.org?join>`_. In some instances, you may wish to route XMPP traffic through an HTTP proxy, probably to get around restrictive firewalls. SleekXMPP provides support for basic HTTP proxying with DIGEST authentication. Enabling proxy support is done in two steps. The first is to instruct SleekXMPP to use a proxy, and the second is to configure the proxy details: .. code-block:: python xmpp = ClientXMPP(...) xmpp.use_proxy = True xmpp.proxy_config = { 'host': 'proxy.example.com', 'port': 5555, 'username': 'example_user', 'password': '******' } The ``'username'`` and ``'password'`` fields are optional if the proxy does not require authentication.
