HTTPS Proxies With Requests: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF Occurred In Violation Of Protocol

Solution 1:

I suspect your proxy is a http proxy over which you can use https (the common case) The problem is, that requests uses https to talk to proxies if the request itself https. Using an explicit protocol (http) for your proxy should fix things: proxies={'https': 'http://IP:PORT'}
