I am trying to run a python script on my Windows server hosted on AWS. The server sits behind a proxy which directs traffic to the internet.
From my account, I can pip install any packages, and it works fine if I set my proxy on inetcpl.cpl. I can also run the python script without any issues.
However i have a user on the same server (let's call him john doe), when he tries to pip install a package, he gets the error message Your proxy appears to only use HTTP and not HTTPS. We found a way around this to use pip install --proxy but when he runs the python script, he gets the error SSLError Max retries exceeded with url [SSL: Wrong Version Number]. He also has the proxy setup in inetcpl.cpl
I want him to be able to run the script and the pip commands without the --proxy or without having to continuously set http_proxy variables like I am able to run the script just fine.
Can someone help out as to why we are getting this SSL error even though he has proxy setup on his user profile ?
