SMTP using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to communicate with an SMTP server via an HTTP proxy. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    // The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    let mailman = CkoMailMan()!

    // 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.
    mailman.httpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
    mailman.httpProxyPort = 3128

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

    // Set the SMTP server.
    mailman.smtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

    // Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
    mailman.smtpUsername = "myUsername"
    mailman.smtpPassword = "myPassword"

    // Create a new email object
    let email = CkoEmail()!

    email.subject = "This is a test"
    email.body = "This is a test"
    email.from = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
    success = email.add(to: "Chilkat Admin", emailAddress: "admin@chilkatsoft.com")

    // Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server via the HTTP proxy and send.
    // The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
    // open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
    // same connection.  
    success = mailman.sendEmail(email: email)
    if success != true {
        print("\(mailman.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
    // the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
    // call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
    // Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
    // not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
    // for the example:
    success = mailman.closeSmtpConnection()
    if success != true {
        print("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.")
    }

    print("Mail Sent!")
