quick and dirty prowl push with proxy (keep care to specify a real exception to catch and log if needed)

prow_push.py

import urllib
import urllib2
 
API_URL = 'https://api.prowlapp.com/publicapi/add'
API_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
PROXY = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx'
 
 
def push():
 
  try:
    req = urllib2.Request(API_URL)
    if not req.has_proxy():
      req.set_proxy(PROXY, 'https')
 
    data = {'apikey': API_KEY,
            'application': 'xxxxx',
            'event': 'xxxx',
            'description': 'xxxxx',
            'priority': 0}
 
    req.add_data(urllib.urlencode(data))
 
    urllib2.urlopen(req)
  except Exception:
    print('-')
    pass
 
 
 
push()
