Run the script from a python script\n2.\n3.\n\nWhat is the expected output? What do you see instead?\nYou are in a infinite loop ! \nIf for workaround, you try to launch it into a thread; it's not a good idea \nbecause in pyhon you can't easily to force the stop it\n\nIn my script, I expecte:\n- to launch the proxy and continue the script.\n- to stop it\n\nWhat version of the product are you using? On what operating system?\nversion: '0.1.0 Draft 1'\nOS: Windows 7\n\nPlease provide any additional information below.\n\nI propose you encapsulate the start/stop in a class:\n\nSee below (file in attachment), this example don't take into account the IPV6 \nand timeout\n\nclass ConnectionHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):\n\n    #Instead of __init__\n    def handle(self):\n        self.client = self.request\n    ....\n\nclass WebProxy:\n    def __init__(self):\n        self.server = None\n\n\n    def start(self, host='localhost', port=8080, IPv6=False, timeout=60,\n                      handler=ConnectionHandler):\n\n        print \"Start proxy server\"\n        #For the moment  only in IPV4\n        # if IPv6==True:\n            # For IPV6, override SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer\n            # soc_type=socket.AF_INET6\n        # else:\n            # soc_type=socket.AF_INET\n\n        self.server = SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer((host, port), handler)\n\n        # Start a thread with the server -- that thread will then start one\n        # more thread for each request\n        server_thread = threading.Thread(target=self.server.serve_forever)\n        # Exit the server thread when the main thread terminates\n        server_thread.daemon = True\n        server_thread.start()\n\n    def stop(self):\n        if self.server is not None:\n            print \"Stop proxy server\"\n            self.server.shutdown()\n\n```\n\nOriginal issue reported on code.google.com by `cyrilbes...@aol.com` on 28 Mar 2013 at 10:15\n\nAttachments:\n- [PythonProxy.py](https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-attachments/python-proxy/issue-2/comment-0/PythonProxy.py)\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/GoogleCodeExporter","@type":"Person","name":"GoogleCodeExporter"},"datePublished":"2015-04-28T21:32:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/2/python-proxy/issues/2"}
