This application is useful for keep an updated list of proxy servers, it
contains everything you need to make periodic checks to verify the properties
of the proxies. Also you can periodically collect the proxy server
from the Internet, remove broken and slow proxies.



Installing the package
----------------------

`django-proxylist-for-grab` can be easily installed using pip:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install django-proxylist-for-grab

-------------

...
'proxylist',
...
)

Database creation

We ancourage recommend you using `south` for your database migrations. If you
already use it you can migrate `django-proxylist-for-grab`:

Using syncdb
~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you don't want to use `south` you can make a plain *syncdb*:

.. code-block:: bash

$ python manage.py syncdb



Basic setup
-----------

At first, add a mirror. For working mirror, you need to install app on
server with external ip. This is in order to be able to verify the correctness
of data through proxy server. After adding mirror, you can add and test
your proxies.



Asynchronously checking

`django-proxylist-for-grab` has configured by default to non-async check.
You can change this behavior. Insert into your django settings
``PROXY_LIST_USE_CALLERY`` and change it to True.
