Project description

# proxytest

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/yoleg/proxytest.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/yoleg/proxytest)
[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/proxytest.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/proxytest)

Simple command-line script to check if multiple proxies are up by fetching a webpage through each.

## Installation:

Requires Python 3 (tested on 3.5 and above).

```
python3 -m pip install proxytest
```

## Examples:

```
proxytest http://1.2.3.4:8080 http://1.2.3.4:8081

proxytest 1.2.3.4:8080-8081 # same as above

proxytest -v -n 10 --timeout 1 "http://user:pass@exampleproxy.com:3128" "111.222.333.444:8080-8082" "111.222.333.444:8085-8090"

proxytest "1.2.3.4:1234" --url="https://example.com" --print

proxytest --help

python3 -m proxytest --version
```

## Command-line Arguments:

```
$ proxytest --help
usage: proxytest [-h] [--version] [--agent AGENT]
[--backend {aiohttp,requests}] [--debug] [--number NUMBER]
[--print] [--format PRINT_FORMAT] [--timeout TIMEOUT]
[--url TEST_URL] [--workers WORKERS] [--verbose]
PROXYHOST:STARTPORT[-ENDPORT] [PROXYHOST:STARTPORT[-ENDPORT] ...]

Test if one or more HTTP proxies are working by requesting a webpage through each.

positional arguments:
PROXYHOST:STARTPORT[-ENDPORT]
The proxy host/ports to use. -ENDPORT is optional.
Example: 1.2.3.4:8080 1.2.3.4:8080-8090

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
--agent AGENT, -a AGENT
The user agent string to use. (default: random)
--backend {aiohttp,requests}, -b {aiohttp,requests}
The backend to use. Choose from: aiohttp, requests.
(default: aiohttp)
--debug, -d Enable debug output.
--number NUMBER, -n NUMBER
Number of times to test each proxy (default: 1)
--print, -p Print each webpage to stdout on a successful fetch.
--format PRINT_FORMAT, -f PRINT_FORMAT
The output format to use for --print. Placeholders:
duration, end_callback, error, finished, headers,
name, proxy_url, result, result_flat, start_callback,
started, url. (default: 'Content from {name}:
"{result_flat:.100}..."')
--timeout TIMEOUT, -t TIMEOUT
Timeout in seconds for each request. (default: 2)
--url TEST_URL, -u TEST_URL
The URL of the webpage to get. (default:
'http://example.com/').
--workers WORKERS, -j WORKERS
Max number of concurrent requests. (default:
unlimited)
--verbose, -v Enable verbose output.
```

## Backends:

* aiohttp (default) - asyncio support
* requests - useful for Python 3.4, supports HTTPS proxies

## Output:

No output on success unless verbose or debug mode enabled.

## Exit codes:

* 0 - all proxy requests succeeded
* 1 - one or more proxy requests failed
* 2 - could not test proxies (e.g. due to input error or system error)
