Examples

For every commands of proxy_checker. It will return 0 if every proxies address worked and 1 if it didn't (POSIX convention).

1. Check if single proxy works:

• Command: proxy_checker 127.0.0.1:80.
• Description: This will test a simple proxy address.

2. Check if multiple proxy works:

• Command: proxy_checker 127.0.0.1:81 127.0.0.2:81.
• Description: This will test if both proxy addresses works.

3. Append working proxies to output file:

• Command: proxy_checker -o working_proxies.txt 127.0.0.1:81 127.0.0.2:81.
• Description: This will test if both proxy addresses works. It will also append the proxies address that works into the output specified file.

4. Use an input file to test:

• Command: proxy_checker -i proxies_to_test.txt .
• Description: This will test if all proxy addresses from the input file proxies_to_test.txt. The format of the file should be the following:

file: proxies_to_test.txt
##########################
123.0.0.1:80
127.0.0.1:81
8.8.8.8:1234
...

4. Use a input file to test, append working proxies to output file:

• Command: proxy_checker -i proxies_to_test.txt -o working_proxies.txt.
• Description: This will test if all proxy addresses from the input file proxies_to_test.txt. It will also append the proxies address that works into the output specified file.

Use it as a package

import proxy_checker
proxiesToTest = ["213.321.413.1:8080", "413.333.321.12:81", ...]

# 1. with default options, just pass the proxies list
workingProxies = process(proxiesToTest)
print workingProxies                # a list of working proxies

# 2. optional arguments
timeout = 4                         # socket timeout in sec
url     = "http://www.yahoo.com"    # url used to test the proxy
output  = "working_proxies.txt"     # file to append working proxies
workingProxies = process(proxiesToTest, timeout, url, output)
print workingProxies                # a list of working proxies
