Can You Ping A Http Proxy?

[CrewXp]

I always have a list of http proxies. Example: (Just 1/40 of my list)

165.228.128.10:3128

165.228.128.11:80

165.228.130.10:3128

165.228.131.10:3128

165.228.131.12:80

165.228.132.10:3128

I want to write a program that goes through the list and pings each proxy, sees which one is fastest. Then sets my proxy to it.

But I'm stuck on the first part. Is there any way to ping a http proxy?

THANKS!!!

From the help file:

Ping ( address or hostname [, timeout] )

If the proxy alowes ping it will answer.

Or you could use tracert

this worked with web addresses

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$file = "listt.txt"

Dim $aRecords
If Not _FileReadToArray($file,$aRecords) Then
   MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array     error:" & @error)
   Exit
EndIf
Dim $list[$aRecords[0]]
$list[0] = $aRecords[0]
For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
    $var = Ping($aRecords[$x],250)
If $var Then
    $list[$x] = $var & "," & $aRecords[$x]
Else
; check for bad address
    Msgbox(0,"Status","An error occured with number: " & @error, 1)
EndIf
Next

_ArraySort($list,1,1)
_ArrayDisplay($list, "Fastest Speeds")

*** did not work with your list

Best way would be to ping a known web-site (let's say http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/ with each proxy individually and get the time taken to fetch the page.

I dunno how you would achieve this in AutoIt; you can use winhttp COM Object, may be.
