-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
A common question from snowflake proxy volunteers is whether or not their
proxy is working (see comment 11 on #31109). It would be great to have
some kind of bandwidth test for proxy owners to see whether or not their
proxy is reachable from a remote probe point. This might also help us find
and diagnose problems with existing proxies.
Some notes:
- we can't ask the broker to assign us a specific proxy at the moment so
this test would likely be separate from the broker (unless we add an
entirely new feature which I'm hesitant to do)
- we'll have to protect this service from abuse somehow, probably by rate-
limiting. See some discussion on #31874. It would be best to engineer a
way so that only a proxy owner can run the test on their proxy.
