OAuth2 using a SOCKS Proxy (for a Desktop Application)

Explains how to use a SOCKS proxy to send OAuth2 communications for a desktop application, using Microsoft Graph as an example. This method applies to all OAuth2 applications. C++

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

    // To use a SOCKS proxy with OAuth2, create a Chilkat socket object and specify the details for the
    // SOCKS proxy server (SOCKS4 or SOCKS5).
    CkSocket socket;
    // Use your SOCKS proxy server domain or IP address.
    socket.put_SocksHostname("mysocksproxyserver.com");
    // Change this to the listening port of your SOCKS proxy server (if necessary)
    socket.put_SocksPort(1080);
    socket.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
    socket.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");
    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    socket.put_SocksVersion(5);
    // Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
    // SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

    CkOAuth2 oauth2;

    // We don't need to connect the socket beforehand.
    // Just tell oauth2 to use the socket which has the SOCKS proxy properties.
    success = oauth2.UseConnection(socket);

    // This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
    // The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
