HTTP/HTTPS using SOCKS5 Proxy

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to use HTTP/HTTPS with a SOCKS5 proxy. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL lcHtml

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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Using a SOCKS5 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
* Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
* the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

* Set the SocksVersion property = 5 for SOCKS5
loHttp.SocksVersion = 5

* Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address, 
* which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
loHttp.SocksHostname = "192.168.1.100"

* The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
loHttp.SocksPort = 1080

* If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password 
* like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
loHttp.SocksUsername = "myUsername"
loHttp.SocksPassword = "myPassword"

* Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
