I'm try to test a sample in Selenium using Python. I'm using a proxy server to my connection to Internet with authentication. When I try to run the following code :

from selenium import webdriver   

if __name__ == '__main__':

    proxy = "some_IP"
    port = 3128

    fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.ssl_port', int(port))
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.ssl', proxy)
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.http_port', int(port))
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.http', proxy)
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.ftp', proxy)
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.ftp_port', int(port))
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', proxy)
    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', int(port))

    fp.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)

    browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
    browser.set_page_load_timeout(15)
    browser.get('http://www.google.com')
    print browser.title

The Firefox browser open without any problem and in its proxy configuration all it's ok, even the pop-up of authentication is opened. If I authenticate myself I can navigate without any problem. The problem is that behind of this I get the following errors :

Traceback (most recent call last):

After 4 days finding a solution to this problem, finally I find it. The problem is with the browser exclusions, I means the tab in proxy configuration in any browser. You need to put in any browser you have in the exclusions the two address:

localhost and 127.0.0.1

This is very important because if one left this cause problem with Selenium because it try to connect to a address like two mentioned above.

Can you explain more? Not really understanding. How can I put those 2 exclusions in the python script?
