Looking for a proxy testing script

I'm wondering if anyone has written or knows of a script that can be used to test a list of proxy servers for anonymity? The general programming flow would go as follows:

1) input a list of proxies in the form of (host:port)
2) open up a connection to each of the proxies in the list
3) request a test page via the proxy
4) the test page would capture any ENV variables sent by the proxy and return them to the calling script
5) the test page script could be run on the same host as the calling script or on a remote host
6) the calling script would take the test page results and use it to remove any proxy that revealed the host's true IP address
7) finally, the list of anonymous proxies would be returned to the user or saved for later access
