ProxiClean
What is proxi_clean?
A simple utility for checking if an http proxy works or not. If you deal with huge lists of proxies and need to clean out the dead or non-functional ones, this might help you.
How does it work?
Using the power of oxygen proxi_clean
will make a call to the realip.info API using RestClient
and determine it's unproxied public IP. When checking if a proxy is valid or not proxi_clean
reconfigures RestClient
to use the proxy you provide and confirms that realip returns an IP address that does NOT match your unproxied public IP.
If anything goes wrong we blindly assume the proxy is no good.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'proxi_clean'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install proxi_clean
Usage
Easy! The API has 1 useful public method: works?
. Just create a client
and start checking proxies.
2.2.1 :005 > client = ProxiClean::Client.new
=> #<ProxiClean::Client:0x007fa149e78b18 @public_ip="47.202.47.103">
2.2.1 :006 > client.works? 'https://124.88.67.13:843'
=> true
2.2.1 :007 > client.works? 'https://NOT-GONNA-WORK.com:47'
=> false
