Question

I would like to set up on my server a service that would determine if a proxy server I scraped off the net is anonymous or not. What I need is just a uri, from which the server would return the request exactly as it was received, and then to check if my public IP is in the response string(in HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR for example).

Has anyone has ever done this before?
Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Why not write a simple PHP script and check this for yourself?

<?php
foreach (getallheaders() as $name => $value) {
    echo "$name: $value\n";
}
?>

Save it as headers.php and call it in your browser via the proxy server. All the request headers seen by the server will be echo’d on screen.
