Hello,

I am running into an issue when trying to authenticate using OAuth2. I followed the instructions laid out here https://developer.box.com/en/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk/ and have set a proxy. However, i continue to receive the below error. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

 

ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.box.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /oauth2/token (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 404 Not Found')))

    It may caused by the limitation in your network (your company's proxy server, etc)

    You can pass the proxy url to boxsdk.

     

    from boxsdk.config import Proxy
Proxy.URL = "your-company-proxy.com:"

     I would recommend opening a ticket on GitHub with the SDK team. I can give them a push as well, as they might know the answer better than I do. https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk
