title: Does Python requests really connect to http proxy?
body: <p>When I am using the code below with an obviously wrong http proxy, the <code>requests</code> module can still get from the url. How could it be possible? Does it mean that <code>requests</code> won't use http proxy? If so, is there any chance that it won't https proxy as well? I need to confirm that my post and get are done via proxies.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  url=r'https://stackoverflow.com/questions'
  proxies={'http':'http://asdasdasd:80'}
  
  
  with requests.session() as s:
      resp = s.get(url, proxies=proxies)
      print resp
      print resp.text
  </code></pre>
