HTTPie proxy integration
HTTPie is a human-friendly command-line HTTP client that accepts proxies via the --proxy flag (or the HTTP(S)_PROXY env vars). It's a quick way to verify Aethyn targeting and exit IPs with readable output.
Setup steps
- 1Install HTTPie: pip install httpie (or brew install httpie).
- 2Pass --proxy for http and https schemes.
- 3Hit an IP echo endpoint to confirm the exit.
- 4Change the username suffix to test targeting.
Code
HTTPie with --proxy
https --proxy=http:http://aethyn-XXXXX-country-us:PASSWORD@proxy.aethyn.io:2099 \
--proxy=https:http://aethyn-XXXXX-country-us:PASSWORD@proxy.aethyn.io:2099 \
GET https://httpbin.org/ipVia environment variables
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://aethyn-XXXXX:PASSWORD@proxy.aethyn.io:2099"
https GET https://httpbin.org/ipReplace aethyn-XXXXX and PASSWORD with your dashboard credentials. See the full targeting reference and protocol/port list.
Tips
- Specify the proxy for both http and https schemes.
- Env vars apply globally — unset them when finished.
- Great for quickly confirming a country suffix geolocates correctly.
