error when opearating behind a socks proxy server

[kngharv]

Due to the environment constraint, I am forced to use a socks proxy server to get onto the Internet.

When I am trying to use VisioNomicon, I encounter the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Unknown scheme for proxy URL URL(socks://127.0.0.1:7890/)

I was hoping installing httpx[socks] library will solve the problem. it doesn't.

What else can I do to get around with this error?

I'm not too familiar with socks proxies myself. Looking online, it seems you have to use something like socks5://127.0.0.1:7890/ or socks4://127.0.0.1:7890/, instead of socks://127.0.0.1:7890/. Try that, and let me know.

Ok, I found the problem.

I didn't even know I have set my environment variable all_proxy.

Once I removed all_proxy (e.g. set to blank) , VisioNomicon at least started to run.
