A simple script to test if one or more HTTP proxies are working by fetching a webpage.
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 (in parallel).
The only advantage of this tool over a commandline HTTP client (such as httpie) is that it provides an **easy way to check multiple proxies at once**.
But the *main* purpose of proxytest is to be a **Python coding sample**, so it has more features than it really needs. :)
## Installation:
Requires Python 3.4 or 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}] [--number NUMBER]
[--timeout TIMEOUT] [--url TEST_URL] [--workers WORKERS]
[--print] [--format PRINT_FORMAT] [--quiet] [--debug]
[--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. Use "none" to
call the webpage directly.
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)
--number NUMBER, -n NUMBER
Number of times to test each proxy (default: 1)
--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)
output:
--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}..."')
--quiet, -q Suppress logging. Overrides --debug and --verbose, but
--print will still work.
--debug, -d Enable debug logging to stderr. Overrides --verbose.
--verbose, -v Enable verbose logging to stderr.
```
## Backends:
* aiohttp (default) - asyncio support (requires Python 3.5.3 or above)
* 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)
