Python: Accessing HTTPS url over Proxy using Requests - python-2.7

Question

import shutil
import requests
import json
proxy = {
'user' : 'user',
'pass' : 'password',
'host' : "test.net",
'port' : 8080
}
url = 'https://github.com/timeline.json'
response = requests.get(url,verify=True, proxies={"https" : \
"http://%(user)s:%(pass)s#%(host)s:%(port)d" % proxy})
with open(r'..\test.json','wb') as out_file:
out_file.write(response.text)
print response
I'm trying to access a HTTPS link (e.g https://github.com/timeline.json) over proxy in office environment using Requests.
Accessing HTTP link seems to be working fine. Getting SSL error in HTTPS.
Please suggest what's missing in the code. Thanks!
Error received:
raise SSLError(e)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

I am using almost the same code you provided, and searched an proxy server. Everything is OK with me.
Try to take a look at document here requests proxies. And notice that https://github.com/timeline.json is deprecated by Github，try https://api.github.com/events
According to doc:
To use HTTP Basic Auth with your proxy, use the http://user:password#host/ syntax:
proxies = {
"http": "http://user:pass#10.10.1.10:3128/",
}
Are you missing a / at the end? Take a try.
import requests
url = 'https://api.github.com/events'
proxy = {
"http" : "http://211.162.xxx.xxx:80"
}
response = requests.get(url, verify=True, proxies=proxy)
print response.status_code
if response.status_code == requests.codes.ok:
response.encoding = 'utf-8'
jsontxt = response.json()
print jsontxt
