[FIXED] scrapy doesn't use a proxy

Issue

I have socks5 proxy -> socks5://login:password@ip:port

i am tried:

class ProxyMiddleware:
def process_request(self, request, spider):
    # Set the location of the proxy
    request.meta['proxy'] = "http://ip:port"

    proxy_user_pass = "login:password"
    encoded_user_pass = base64.encodestring(proxy_user_pass)
    request.headers['Proxy-Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + encoded_user_pass

middleware:

DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
   'bog_name.middlewares.ProxyMiddleware': 100,
}

Scrapy doesn't use proxy

Solution

It seems that scrapy doesn't support socks5 proxy out of the box. Here is issue on Github about it. And couple workarounds proposed by users in that topic - one, two
