It has been discussed several times before. 

It can depend on what type of proxy server you have. 

In some cases, the following works: 

 check_http -I <proxy> -H <site of interest> 

You might need to include a query as well, to defeat caching. 

Unfortunately, I don't recall the other method that is in use.
