The basic send sequence for using a proxy is

 

 

GET http://www.google.co.uk/

 

 

It's just a standard URL instead of a server specific URI. The you need to add whatever headers your proxy requires... e.g. proxy auth etc (Although we used to mark the self IP of the F5's to not require authentication). What you test for in the return is up to you... Pick something that looks like it won't change (Or you'll be playing catchup).
