# Plan: Demo script — egress IP check through each healthy proxy
**Created:** 2026-08-11 22:20


## Context

First of a planned series of demo scripts under `docs/demo/`. This one showcases the discovery API end to end without leases: list proxies from `$BASE_URL/v1/proxies`, and for each **healthy** one, call an IP-echo site through it (`curl -x`) to show the egress IP that proxy provides — clearly labeling which proxy each request goes through. The user explicitly asked to start by switching to a new branch. The script will be iterated on: **write it but do not commit it** — the user wants to add things to it before anything is committed.

## Steps

### Step 0 — Branch

Create `feat/demo-scripts` off `main`. Commit only the plan copy (`docs/plans/<timestamp>-demo-scripts.md`, timestamp via `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"`) per CLAUDE.md — nothing else gets committed this round.

### Step 1 — `docs/demo/show-egress-ips.sh` (new file, executable, left uncommitted)

Style: match [.devcontainer/post-install.sh](.devcontainer/post-install.sh) — `#!/bin/bash`, `set -euo pipefail`, `ERROR:`/`WARNING:` messages, `${VAR}` braces.

Behavior:

1. **Args/env:** `BASE_URL` is `$1` (required; missing → usage text + exit 1, e.g. `usage: show-egress-ips.sh <BASE_URL>  (e.g. localhost:8090)`). Optional env: `TOKEN` (bearer token, same name docs/api.md uses; when set, send `Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN`), `IP_ECHO_URL` (default `https://api.ipify.org?format=json` — returns `{"ip":"..."}`).
2. **Dependency check:** `command -v curl`, `command -v jq` → `ERROR` + exit 1 if missing.
3. **Fetch** `"$BASE_URL/v1/proxies"` once (no server-side `healthy` filter — fetch all so unhealthy ones can be shown as skipped, which makes the demo more informative). Fail with a clear error if curl or JSON parsing fails.
4. **Iterate** proxies with `jq -c '.proxies[]'`; for each, extract `id`, `ip`, `port`, `healthy`:
   - unhealthy → print `--- skipping <id> (unhealthy) ---`
   - healthy → print a clear banner naming the proxy before the request, e.g. `=== via <id> — http://<ip>:<port> ===`, then `curl -sS --max-time 10 -x "http://${ip}:${port}" "$IP_ECHO_URL"`; print the JSON response. A failed probe prints `WARNING: request through <id> failed` and continues (guard so `set -e` doesn't kill the loop).
5. Finish with a one-line summary: N proxies, M probed, K skipped/failed.

Reference for API shapes: [docs/api.md](docs/api.md) (`proxies[].id/ip/port/healthy`; `curl -x http://ip:port` usage is already documented there and in README).

### Deliberately deferred (user will iterate on the script first)

- No commit of the script, no push beyond the plan commit, no MR, no execution summary, no CHANGELOG — all wait until the user says the script (or script set) is ready.
