IMAP using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server through an HTTP proxy. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local imap = chilkat.Imap.new()

-- To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
-- and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
-- and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
-- HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
imap.http_proxy_hostname = "www.myhttpproxy.com"
imap.http_proxy_port = 3128

-- Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
-- traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

-- Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
-- Use TLS
imap.ssl = true
imap.port = 993
local success = imap:connect("imap.example.com")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end
