Submitting a link with Wget and Proxy?

acctman · 08-09-2011, 11:56 AM

Is it possible to do something like this with wget and a Shell script or another method?

1. Load wget
2. load proxy list file (prox.lst)
3. load links list file (timesheets.lst)
4. process go to Link using proxy ... loop through proxy for every link (if proxy timeout skip and use next)
5. continue till all links have been processed/submitted.

example:
wget proxy 1.1.11.1 http://post.server.com/send?11213
wget proxy 45.1.41.1 http://post.server.com/send?199967

you can set the proxy with the "http_proxy" environment variable
you can use for loops to go through all proxies in a file with something like this:

Code:

for i in $(cat prox.lst)
do
  http_proxy="$i"
  # do wget stuff
done

You could check the exit status of wget to determine if you should stay in the loop or not.
