➔ Scrapy 2.17.0 - Httpx Proxy and TLS Updates
| 4 minute read
Scrapy 2.17.0 was published on July 7, 2026, with a small but practical set of changes for Python web crawling teams. The main user visible update is HTTP/2 and SOCKS proxy support for HttpxDownloadHandler, which matters when spiders route traffic through modern proxy stacks or talk to servers that behave better over HTTP/2. The release also includes security bug fixes and improved TLS version settings, so operators should treat it as more than routine package churn.
