It batch checks to see if the proxies are good and if they hide your identity. I couldn't find anything free out there and figured it would be a useful tool to have in my arsenal. Feel free to use it.

Your experience using the tool will be more pleasant if you turn off your js.

Thanks Little.

I guess you never got a copy of that one I wrote last spring? I swear I gave it to you. (even pulled the latest list off our fav proxy site...) where did that script go...hmmm

I remember it, though I also can't remember where you put it. Was it cgi or command-line? I already have something similar -- where it pulls, strips and then tests the proxies one by one. It is buggy though, and would sometimes hang and become a resource hog.

This one was sort of an exercise in overcoming that timeout problem with lwp -- so far so good. It also checks to see if the proxy does any type of IP forwarding. I also figured a few here would find it useful.
