SSH using HTTP Proxy

See more SSH Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.51 or greater.

Demonstrates how to connect to an SSH server through an HTTP proxy. (Connects through a generic proxy of type: HTTP/1.1 using the CONNECT method.)

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSsh
LOCAL lcHostname
LOCAL lnPort

lnSuccess = 0

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

loSsh = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ssh')

* 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.
loSsh.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
loSsh.HttpProxyPort = 3128

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

* Connect to an SSH server via an HTTP proxy:

* Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
lcHostname = "192.168.1.108"
lnPort = 22

lnSuccess = loSsh.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSsh
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Your application is now connected to an SSH server 
* through an HTTP proxy.

RELEASE loSsh
