[tor-qa] testing tor proxy with a script

[André Rodier]

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:

Thanks a lot for your insights.

Kind regards,
André Rodier
