testing tor proxy with a script
by André Rodier 30 Apr '19

Hello everyone, I was not sure where to post this, but maybe QA is a good place. I have a project that includes an automatic installation of a Tor proxy. After the installation, I am able to test the proxy works as expected, using the official site, i.e. https://check.torproject.org/ I am using curl / grep to test for a string like "Congratulations, etc..." However, I know this is not perfectly reliable, as the layout of the HTML can change at any time. I would like to know if there is a better way to do this, for instance a special URL that would return the same information, in JSON or plain text. The plain text option is perfectly fine. The Ansible script is here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox/blob/dev/tests/playbooks/roles/tor/… Thanks a lot for your insights. Kind regards, André Rodier
