Python API can't return layers and tables

simoxu — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 06:07:11 GMT

It seems the Python API can't return layers and tables in a feature service if a proxy is used when instantiating the arcgis.GIS class.

If I don't use proxy in the arcgis.GIS class instantiation, it works OK. but we are required to use proxy to visit internet in our organisation....

Please see the screenshot in the attachment.

Is it only me or I hit a bug in the API?

Can you try specifying just the hostname without http:// in the proxy_host parameter?

Hi Rohit,

If I use just the hostname of my corporate proxy, it works!

gis=GIS(url="http://abc.maps.arcgis.com",username="simoxu",proxy_host="xxx.xxx.abc.gov.au",proxy_port="8080")

I am happy my corporate proxy is working now, but my Cntlm proxy does not work with the API. (there was a time my corporate proxy didn't work with my ArcREST python code, I had to set up a local proxy using cntlm to relay the request to the corporate proxy. ) if I use cntlm proxy with ArcGIS API for Python, I can't get the layers and tables. I am sure the cntlm is working.

gis=GIS(url="https://abc.maps.arcgis.com",username="XXXX",proxy_host="127.0.0.1",proxy_port="3218")
