Applescript Proxy

Question

Ok. So I am having a little trouble getting an apple script program to work. Basically, I have a text file named Proxy.rtf and I need an applescript that grabs line one from this text file and changes the proxy settings on my mac to use that proxy. Then open a webpage using the new proxy settings. Then, basically I just want it to keep doing this until it reaches the end of the text file. Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't know any proxy servers to test with, but this should have the same effect as setting a proxy in System Preferences > Network > Advanced… > Proxies > Web Proxy (HTTP).

#!/bin/bash

networkservice="Wi-Fi" # or something like Built-in Ethernet or HUAWEIMobile-Modem
for p in `cat proxies.txt`; do
    networksetup -setwebproxy "$networkservice" $p 80
    open http://superuser.com
    sleep 10
done
