First i took an open source uptime monitor and created my own plugin to test HTTP proxies using cUrl and PHP
Heres my proxy checker plugin code...
I found it could only connect out port 80 (firewall i guess) so I built my script to only check those it finds with valid ports
heres a shot of my dashboard
I changed the code that runs the template so i can pass an API parameter to pull xml or json proxy list and status as well as hacking some code so my proxy scraper could add items (and password protection)... oh heres a sample return from my proxy tester API (returns XML for simple parsing)
That lets me simplexml_load_string to test and see what level proxy it is... they go something like

That lets me simplexml_load_string to test and see what level proxy it is... they go something like
- Elite Proxy, connection looks like a regular client
- Anonymous Proxy, no ip is forworded but target site could still tell it's a proxy
- Transparent Proxy, ip is forworded and target site would be able to tell it's a proxy
and are graded by how and what headers are returned by the proxy (ill upload my proxy judge code later if anyone wants it) so then to make the process even easier i decided i would use some crowd sourcing techniques, i made a script to scrape proxies from text using regex and then made a page to test proxies... then i test the proxies and add the good ones to my database :) i also found a few proxy lists on google and setup a cron job to run and scrape their proxies every few hours...
if you have any questions feel free to bother me... thats what im here for
1 remarks:
May be this proxy checker api could be handy for you ;-)
Is useful to check a proxy list to know what are open/alive and their speed and response times.
