HTTP/SOCKS Proxy upload file

[avono]

So I have an issue uploading a music file through the http proxy I am behind this query works

>>> song.search(artist="radiohead",title="Creep")

[<song - Creep>, <song - CREEP (LYRICS!)>, <song - Creep (Acoustic)>, <song - Creep (Radio Edit)>, <song - CREEP (Live)/(LYRICS!)>, <song - Creep (BBC Radio 1 Evening Session)>]

however doing this returns ...

>>> track.track_from_filename(filename)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-intel/egg/pyechonest/track.py", line 217, in track_from_filename

    raise err
socket.error: [Errno 60] Operation timed out

I have tried to "socksipy" (http://socksipy.sourceforge.net) to force the sockets to use the proxy like this:

>>> socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5,"socks.example.com")
>>> socket.socket = socks.socksocket

but to no avail.

I think that problems lies in the function util.callm or in httplib.HTTPConnection therefore I have also tried.

>>> track.util.opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler(),track.util.MyBaseHandler(), track.util.MyErrorProcessor())

Have you successfully connected to other sites through the proxy using urllib2?
