REST through HTTP Proxy

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy to make REST API calls. C#

bool success = false;

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

//  This example connects to a REST server through an HTTP proxy.
//  It will connect to the Amazon AWS service for this example.
Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();
Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

//  Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address, and port.
socket.HttpProxyHostname = "192.168.1.100";
socket.HttpProxyPort = 8088;

//  We want to tell the socket object that we're doing HTTP over the proxy connection.
//  This is because an HTTP proxy used for other protocols (IMAP, SMTP, SSH, FTP, etc.) 
//  can require some internal differences in behavior (i.e. how we do things).
socket.HttpProxyForHttp = true;

//  Other properties exist for specifying a proxy login, password, and authentication method (such as NTLM),
//  but these are not used in this example.

//  Connect through the HTTP proxy to the Amazon AWS server for the S3 service.

    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Use the proxied TLS connection:
success = rest.UseConnection(socket,true);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
