Login Uses Proxy but create() does not

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Confirmed that the WSDL contains only http:// urls and that HTTPS
requirement is disabled in my salesforce org.


Sample code:

#!/usr/bin/python

import sforce
from sforce.enterprise import SforceEnterpriseClient

h = SforceEnterpriseClient('enterprise.wsdl',
proxy={'http':'http://proxyhost:8080'})
lr = h.login('user','pass','token')

print lr

arraymetric = h.generateObject('CustomObjectc__c')
print arraymetric
result = h.create(arraymetric)
print result
h.logout()


Stangely enough, when using the proxy, the login() call suceeds (print of
lr is clean and shows the write userID, a reasonable sessionID, etc).    
However, I then try a create call it stalls, eventually giving me a
traceback inducating that it couldn't reach the service via https directly
(not via proxy):

  File "GetAndUploadFreeSpace.py", line 22, in ?
    result = h.create(arraymetric)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/sforce/enterprise.py", line 33, in

    return super(SforceEnterpriseClient, self).create(xml)

    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 996, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error timed out>


I wouldn't expect it to be able to hit that directly, thats why i have a
proxy :).  Why is is automatically switching to HTTPS on me?
