With the coming ISP internet cops more users will be turning to proxies and encryption. It would be nice if we could execute a command to verify the system proxy is working and sickbeard is indeed using it.
something like "curl http://whatismyip.org; echo"
Result > 185.497.258.362
Here is the article about the ISP's cooperating with the RIAA lobby.
"ISPs are ready to begin their efforts to curtail illegal movie, music and software downloads on July 12th"

While ssl is fine for the usenet connection, on the web side for the nzb download the hostname is still exposed. Once the connection is made the url and content is encrypted but the hostname will still be visible. So I want to be sure my proxy is working.
