HTTP/HTTPS using SOCKS5 Proxy

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to use HTTP/HTTPS with a SOCKS5 proxy. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Using a SOCKS5 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
-- Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
-- the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

-- Set the SocksVersion property = 5 for SOCKS5
http.socks_version = 5

-- Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address,
-- which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
http.socks_hostname = "192.168.1.100"

-- The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
http.socks_port = 1080

-- If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password
-- like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
http.socks_username = "myUsername"
http.socks_password = "myPassword"

-- Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
local html = http:quick_get_str("https://www.google.com/")
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(html)
print("----")
print("Success!")
