Python3 urllib reading over proxy

[Gregg Bolinger]

I've setup my code to use a proxy to open the url connection. But my question is more about the read() method on the response. If I do this...

proxy_handler = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:' + self.proxy_port}) opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy_handler) urllib.request.install_opener(opener) video_stream = urllib.request.urlopen(self.url, timeout=10) video_stream.read(100)

I can confirm that urlopen() uses the proxy. But does the read() function also use the proxy? My testing would suggest it does not. But I'm trying to get confirmation.
