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

    CkHttp http;

    // 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.put_SocksVersion(5);

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

    // The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
    http.put_SocksPort(1080);

    // If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password 
    // like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
    http.put_SocksUsername("myUsername");
    http.put_SocksPassword("myPassword");

    // Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
