IMAP using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server through an HTTP proxy. C++

#include <CkImap.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkImap imap;

    // 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.
    imap.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.myhttpproxy.com");
    imap.put_HttpProxyPort(3128);

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

    // Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
    // Use TLS
    imap.put_Ssl(true);
    imap.put_Port(993);
    success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << imap.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }
