soma56 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'm going to write a script that determines if a proxy is good or not through cURL and I would like to know if anyone knows what qualifies a proxy as being good. Let's assume I need to do some surfing through a proxy - that's it. Is there a way in PHP to determine the 'type' of proxy? For example (elite, codeen, etc.) If the proxy page exists is that all I need to run cURL through it or otherwise consider it as being good? Or should I focus my attention towards simply going through the whole process of getting a 'dummy' page using cURL through the proxy and, should it succeed, it will be considered good. I suppose if I can avoid the latter then the script would be more efficient. Advice and suggestions are always greatly appreciated here.

btherl Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Fetching google.com is probably enough. A codeen proxy will return the codeen intro page. If you get google.com, then you might try doing a post. If the proxy lets you get and post, that's probably a good definition of a "good" proxy. If you're processing large numbers you might want to record the response time of each. and sort by that. Hypothetically speaking of course.. I am in no way advocating the unauthorized usage of open proxies Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211022-what-qualifies-as-a-good-proxy/#findComment-1100620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
