Autoproxy

Using proxies with XChat is a good way to protect your anonymity or evade bans. Unfortunately, most publically available proxy lists are full of duds, and manually entering proxies in XChat (Settings-> Preferences->Network Setup) grows tireseome.

This little script selects a random proxy from a text file when you type /proxy. The file should be in the format host:port, one entry per line - if it isn't use cut or sed.
