I guess it's my turn to share something valuable with BHW, so I've decided to give these two little php scripts. The filterproxylist.php extracts only IP_address : port pairs from a list of proxies. For example, if you have a list like this: 81.22.90.226:1080 server support: 4 Algeria 81.52.166.190:1080 server support: 4 Algeria 200.61.50.188:1080 server support: 4 Argentina (Buenos Aires) 201.251.61.70:1080 server support: 4 Argentina (Buenos Aires) 190.7.20.125:1080 server support: 4 Argentina (Federal) 203.206.134.18:1080 server support: 4,5 Australia (Brisbane) 60.231.155.140:1080 server support: 4 Australia (Cleveland) 203.134.191.115:1080 server support: 4 Australia (Cranbourne) it will remove the garbage and convert the list to: 81.22.90.226:1080 81.52.166.190:1080 200.61.50.188:1080 201.251.61.70:1080 190.7.20.125:1080 203.206.134.18:1080 60.231.155.140:1080 203.134.191.115:1080 This is useful when you have to check online proxy lists and don't want to copy/paste each ip address manually to a notepad. The aliveproxy.php will go through the list and check if a proxy responds to a connection request. This doesn't guarantee that a detected alive proxy will work though. Some proxies respond, but block requests. However, it'll save your time, since you don't need to go through the dead proxies.
Nice. This may come in handy one day. A couple users on other proxy forums post that extra info, and it's annoying.
