failed with
urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='hub.browserstack.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /wd/hub/session (Caused by NewConnectionError(': Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))
on a system with a localhost HTTP proxy. The proxy is configured with the {http,https}_proxy environment variables: using requests works:
import requests
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/events')
and allowing connections to hub.browserstack.com also works.
The aim is to use BrowserStack with a local proxy. How is this fixed?
So for now the workaround seems to be the answer: allow all connections to hub.browserstack.com to pass the firewall. E.g.
iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 443 -d hub.browserstack.com -j ACCEPT
