webkit-patch currently does not support HTTPS proxies. Many companies use proxies to access the public internet, and this is needed in order to be able to use webkit-patch. This is due to a limitation in the older version of mechanize that we use. Mechanize supports HTTPS proxies in newer versions of Mechanize, and I have determined that version 0.2.4 works fine with webkit-patch upload (I have not tested more than that). Here is a post from the author of mechanize indicating that HTTPS proxy support was present in his git repo as of 31-Jan-2010, and it's been a year since then, and 5 releases since 0.1.11. http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wwwsearch.general/month=20100201 http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/m/mechanize/ I would like to see the webkit scripts update to use mechanize 0.2.4 if possible.
