Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83+

HTTPS Requests over Squid Proxy Direct TLS Connection

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send HTTP requests through an HTTP proxy that supports Direct TLS Connections. (Chilkat tests with a squid 4.11 proxy.)

A direct TLS connection to an HTTP proxy is where the initial connection to the proxy server is TLS.

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address.
http.proxy_domain = "172.16.16.46"
-- The proxy port..
http.proxy_port = 3128

-- Indicate that we are to use a direct TLS connection with the HTTP proxy
-- (we use a Squid Cache: Version 4.11 for testing)
http.proxy_direct_tls = true

-- If the proxy requires a login or password, we can set it here.
-- Otherwise comment out these lines.
http.proxy_login = "myProxyLogin"
http.proxy_password = "myProxyPassword"

-- All requests sent on the http object will now go through the proxy.
-- Give it a test:
local s = http:quick_get_str("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.html")
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- The LastErrorText property also contains information when method call succeeds.
-- Have a look to see that the request was sent through the proxy:
print(http.last_error_text)

print("Success for TLS destination over direct TLS HTTP proxy.")
