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

    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()

    // 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.SetHttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com")
    socket.SetHttpProxyPort(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.
    hostname := "192.168.1.108"

    success = socket.Connect(hostname,5555,ssl,maxWaitMillisec)
    if success != true {

    // Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
    socket.SetMaxReadIdleMs(10000)
    socket.SetMaxSendIdleMs(10000)

    // The ficticious server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
    // message.  Read it:
