Basic Usage


Charity Engine's Proxy Service is used just like a standard HTTP proxy. It is accessed by configuring the system or application proxy settings to route requests through it:

...

Once requests are fulfilled by Charity Engine computers, the responses are returned as though the request was made directly. Try a simple example using curl:

Code Block
languagetextbash
$ curl -v -k -x charityengine.services:20000 -A "Mozilla/5.0 ..." --proxy-user "(authenticator):" "https://www.example.com"

...

Info

Use an appropriate user-agent string and replace (authenticator) with a valid Charity Engine authenticator. If you still need one, contact us to get started!

Better Performance

It is recommended that requests be submitted to the proxy in parallel. A single slow request could take 20 seconds, but in the meantime, hundreds of other requests could be sent, processed, and returned in parallel.

Advanced Options

Additional HTTP headers can be sent to use proxy service configuration options. For example, add --header "X-Proxy-Country: US" (including quotes) to only use nodes from the United States. For details on this and more capabilities, examples, and troubleshooting, see the Distributed Proxy Service documentation.
