If any workaround for proxy support?

[birbird]

This library has the limitation "The client doesn’t support connecting through a proxy".
My situation is that I have to use a proxy. May I ask if any workaround for proxy?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

It's going to take some manual work.

You could establish the connection to the proxy yourself (looking at #422 may help) than pass the already connected socket with the sock argument to connect.

Listen to you suggestion to establish the connection to the proxy , then pass the already connected socket with the sock argument.

try:
	proxy_sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
	proxy_sock.connect(("127.0.0.1", 1080))
except Exception as err:
	print(err)

async def getStream():
       async with websockets.connect("wss//stream.xxx.com:xxx", sock=proxy_sock) as websocket:
                message = await websocket.recv()

But get the "asyncio Value Error - ValueError: You must set server_hostname when using ssl without a host".

Please give me some other suggestions. Thank You.

You need to do the HTTP request to connect to the proxy before passing the sock argument to connect.

To be honest "it's going to take some manual work" was an euphemism for "you're going to hate this".

Then, if you're doing a WSS connection inside the proxy connection, you must pass a server_hostname to connect like the error message tells you.
