ProxyService

A service class that rotates a list of proxies stored in a queue. The queueing system must support the STOMP protocol. Can be used with or without proxies. A queue name should be given and the queue should have a list of proxies in the format of { failures: 0, ip: '127.0.0.1', port: '80' }. The service uses this info to set the proxy of a mechanize agent. If an exception occurs in the block, the proxy's :failures count is incremented and it's put back in the queue to be used again. Once the :failures count exceeds the #failure_limit it will be removed from the queue.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'proxy_service'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install proxy_service

Configure the service, for example, in an initializer

ProxyService.configure do |config|
  config.proxies_enabled = true
  # only used when proxies enabled
  config.username = '...'  
  config.password = '...' 
  config.failure_limit = 3
  config.failure_codes = %w[503 403] # used to determine if the proxy has been blocked
end

And then use it in your app

ProxyService.new('queue_with_proxies').with_mechanize do |agent|
  agent.get('http://...')
end

Some config settings can be overwritten on initialize

ProxyService.new('queue_with_proxies', proxies_enabled: false)
