(C# UWP/WinRT) TCP Socket Connect through HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy server.

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

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

// 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.
socket.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com";
socket.HttpProxyPort = 3128;

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

// Connect (via the HTTP proxy) to port 5555 of 192.168.1.108.
// hostname may be a domain name or IP address.
string hostname = "192.168.1.108";
bool ssl = false;
int maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
bool success = await socket.ConnectAsync(hostname,5555,ssl,maxWaitMillisec);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 10000;
socket.MaxSendIdleMs = 10000;

// The ficticious server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
// message.  Read it:
string receivedMsg = await socket.ReceiveStringAsync();
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Close the connection with the server
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
success = await socket.CloseAsync(20000);

Debug.WriteLine(receivedMsg);
