Streaming Dataset behind Proxy - FileNotFoundError
Author: Veluchs
State: closed

### Describe the bug

When trying to stream a dataset i get the following error after a few minutes of waiting.

```
FileNotFoundError: https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/voxpopuli/resolve/main/data/n_files.json
If the repo is private or gated, make sure to log in with `huggingface-cli login`.
```

I have already set the proxy environment variables. Downloading a Dataset without streaming works as expected.
Still i suspect that this is connected to being behind a proxy.

Is there a way to set the proxy for streaming datasets? Possibly a keyword argument that gets passed to ffspec?

### Steps to reproduce the bug

This is the code i use.

```
import os
os.environ['http_proxy'] = "http://example.com:xxxx" 
os.environ['https_proxy'] = "http://example.com:xxxx" 


from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("facebook/voxpopuli", name="de", streaming=True)
```

### Expected behavior

I would expect the streaming functionality to use the set proxy settings.

### Environment info


- `datasets` version: 2.13.0
- Platform: Linux-5.15.0-73-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.35
- Python version: 3.10.11
- Huggingface_hub version: 0.15.1
- PyArrow version: 11.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.0.2

Hi ! can you try to set the upper case environment variables `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` ?

We use `aiohttp` for streaming and it uses case sensitive environment variables

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I set the uppercase env variables with

`
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = "http://example.com:xxxx" 
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = "http://example.com:xxxx" 
`

However, I still get the same error.

One thing that could be helpfull: When downloading a dataset without streaming i get the following message:
_HF google storage unreachable. Downloading and preparing it from source_.
The download does however work as expected.


Are you able to use `aiohttp` to get the file at `https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/voxpopuli/resolve/main/data/n_files.json` using your proxy ?

It only works when passing trust_env=True when creating the ClientSession, as well as setting ssl=False.

Working Example:

```
import os

os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = "xyz"
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = "xyz"

import asyncio
import aiohttp

async def download_pep(url):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(trust_env=True) as session:
        print("1")
        async with session.get(url, ssl=False) as resp:
            print("2")
            content = await resp.text()
            print(content)
            return content

asyncio.run(download_pep("https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/voxpopuli/resolve/main/data/n_files.json"))
```



SSL Verification has been a problem with other packages as well. Usually I circumvent the problem by setting
```
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
```
(probably not the best idea for security), although here aiohttp does not seem to use this default context.

We do pass `trust_env` as well. Could you share the full stack trace you get when streaming using `datasets` ? That could help locate where we might have forgotten to pass `trust_env`

Is there a way to disable ssl verification when streaming a dataset. I suspect this might be the isssue with my proxy.

> Is there a way to disable ssl verification when streaming a dataset.

I don't think so.

We use `fsspec` HTTPFileSystem implementation that is based on `aiohttp`. If you register a subclass of HTTPFileSystem that has SSL disabled by default it could work, but I wouldn't recommended it because it can raise security issues.

Okay thanks for your help! I guess I have to figure out how to improve the proxy environment / see if I can make it work with ssl connections.
