set HTTPS proxy with mechanize (python) - possible?

Question

I read the docs, googled, and the only thing i could find was:

Python mechanize doesn't work when HTTPS and Proxy Authentication required

which seems to indicate it is not possible. I would rather not go dig through another library, does anybody know if this is possible?

What about [this](https://gist.github.com/emergent/3983870).? It's ruby, but maybe, you can adapt solution. — Mauro Baraldi, Apr 07 '15 at 01:15

you can set HTTPS proxy in mechanize like this.

import mechanize
url = 'https://www.hostname.com/'
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.set_proxies({"http":"username:passwd@X.X.X.X:port",
                "https":"username:passwd@X.X.X.X:port"})
br.set_handled_schemes(['http', 'https'])
br.open(url)

set HTTPS proxy with mechanize (python) - possible?
