CREATE PROCEDURE ChilkatSample

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

    DECLARE @http int
    -- Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Http" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.Http', @http OUT

    -- To use an HTTP proxy, set the following properties

    -- Use a domain name or IP address.
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @http, 'ProxyDomain', '172.16.16.24'

    -- The port at which your HTTP proxy is listening for HTTP requests.
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @http, 'ProxyPort', 808

    -- If your HTTP proxy requires authentication...
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @http, 'ProxyLogin', 'myProxyLogin'
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @http, 'ProxyPassword', 'myProxyPassword'

    -- At this point, all Chilkat HTTP methods for sending POST's, GET's, or anything else
    -- will use the HTTP proxy.  The remainder of your code is the same.
    -- Using an HTTP proxy only requires the above properties to be set beforehand...
