NAME

HTTP::ProxyCheck - Checks HTTP proxy servers.

SYNOPSIS

  use HTTP::ProxyCheck;

  # $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH
  $| = 1;

  my $proxy = "10.0.0.1:8080";
  my $url = "http://www.perl.org/index.shtml";

  print "Trying to connect to $proxy and retrieve $url\n";

  if (ProxyCheck->check(proxy=>"$proxy", url => "$url")) {
	  print "$proxy returns: ".ProxyCheck->getAnswer."\n";
  }
  else {
	  print "Error (".ProxyCheck->getReason.")\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

HTTP::ProxyCheck is a class to check HTTP proxy servers. It connects to given HTTP proxy servers and tries to retrieve a provided URL through them.

The return message from the proxy servers can be accessed through the getAnswer method.

Whenever a check fails, you can access the reason through the getReason method.

METHODS

check( proxy => "$proxy", url => "$url" )

The check method is used to check a HTTP proxy server. The check method includes a test to check the syntax of the provided proxy server address and URL.

check_proxyaddress( $proxyaddress )

The check_proxyaddress method is used to check for a valid proxy server address.

check_proxy( proxy => "$proxy", url => "$url", dochost => "$dochost" )

The check_proxy method is used to check a HTTP proxy server. In contrast to the check method check_proxy doesn't check the syntax of the provided proxy server address and URL. It also doesn't extract the document host from the specified URL.
