Python Requests Post No Proxy

If you are using Python requests library to make HTTP requests, you may encounter situations where you need to disable proxy settings for your HTTP POST request. The proxy settings can be problematic for some requests, especially when you're communicating with servers within your own network.

Method 1: Using the no_proxy Environment Variable

The simplest way to disable proxy settings for your HTTP POST request in Python requests library is to use the no_proxy environment variable. This variable is used to specify a comma-separated list of domains that should not be proxied. You can set the no_proxy variable to "*" to disable all proxying:


import requests

url = 'https://example.com/submit'
data = {'param1': 'value1', 'param2': 'value2'}

proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080',
           'https': 'https://proxy.example.com:8080'}

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}

no_proxy = '*'

response = requests.post(url, data=data, proxies=proxies, headers=headers, env={'no_proxy': no_proxy})

print(response.text)

Method 2: Disabling Proxy Settings Temporarily

If you don't want to use the no_proxy environment variable, you can disable proxy settings temporarily for a single request by setting the proxies parameter to an empty dictionary:


import requests

url = 'https://example.com/submit'
data = {'param1': 'value1', 'param2': 'value2'}

proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080',
           'https': 'https://proxy.example.com:8080'}

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}

response = requests.post(url, data=data, proxies={}, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

By setting the proxies parameter to an empty dictionary, you're effectively disabling proxy settings for the HTTP POST request.

These are the two ways to disable proxy settings for your HTTP POST request using Python requests library. By implementing these methods, you can easily bypass any proxy settings and make direct requests to the server.
