I am looking at creating a proxy topsite soon, so I need to know how to create a script that will check whether a proxy is active. I need to know how to check if the proxies on my list are available so that I don't list broken proxies. Everything that comes up on google for "proxy checker script" is useless as it is all about proxy servers, not web proxies. So does anyone know how sites like proxy.org check to see that web proxies live?
Maybe it is what you are looking for http:// time4fly.googlepages.com/ http:// samair.ru/scripts/ You also can use PHP function fsockopen to connect the proxy server and check the result of retrun.
Hi onlink, thanks for the link. I think I see the error in what I previously thought. I have a fairly good understanding of proxy servers (ones that you type into IE options) but not for web based proxies. Are they the same thing, but are just accessed in the same way?
