Normally, the reason you use a proxy like that, is to mask yourself,
your friend must have used one that forwarded his info.

Hi Roland,
If the location is revealed by the proxy, then that must be a
feature unique to that particular proxy (this is not typical) so I
would not expect all proxys to provide this for you.
Have you tried an HTTP sniffer yet, to see the request information?
There might be a custom property like x-originating-ip or something.
Hope it works out for you.

A friend who wanted to go to a site that does not allow US
visitors, used a proxy service located in the UK. The site knew his
browser was coming from the US. I had him hit my server using the
proxy, and it shows an IP from Germany. Somehow the proxy does
change the IP, but still reveals the location - somehow. That
intrigued me, and now we're looking for what it may be using to
detect country of origin.

How can a server detect the country of origin of a browser when
the browser is set up to go through a proxy in a different country?
