It uses the HEAD command (high-level version of the lwp-request command) to connect to a given URL (http://www.google.com by default) via the given HTTP Proxy. It takes 2 arguments; the first one is the IP Address or URL of the HTTP Proxy and the second one is its port number. If you have a simpler or faster method, please let me know.</p> Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:40:23 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/17899/http-proxy-checker
