REST through SOCKS Proxy

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to connect through a SOCKS proxy to make REST API calls.
Note
This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.
JavaScript
var success = false;

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

// This example connects to a REST server through a SOCKS proxy.
// It will connect to the Amazon AWS service for this example.
var rest = new CkRest();
var socket = new CkSocket();

// Set the SOCKS proxy domain or IP address, port, and SOCKS version number (4 or 5)
socket.SocksHostname = "192.168.1.100";
socket.SocksPort = 1080;
socket.SocksVersion = 5;
// Other properties exist for specifying a SOCKS proxy login and password,
// but these are not used in this example.

// Connect through the HTTP proxy to the Amazon AWS server for the S3 service.
var bTls = true;
var port = 443;
var maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("s3.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log("Connect Failure Error Code: " + socket.ConnectFailReason);
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Use the proxied TLS connection:
success = rest.UseConnection(socket,true);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
var authAws = new CkAuthAws();
authAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY";
authAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY";
authAws.ServiceName = "s3";
success = rest.SetAuthAws(authAws);

// List all buckets for the account...
var responseXml = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var xml = new CkXml();
success = xml.LoadXml(responseXml);

// Show the full XML returned.
console.log(xml.GetXml());

// Iterate over the buckets, showing each bucket name.
success = xml.FindChild2("Buckets");
if (xml.FirstChild2() == true) {
    console.log(xml.GetChildContent("Name"));
    while ((xml.NextSibling2() == true)) {
        console.log(xml.GetChildContent("Name"));
    }

}

// Move the internal pointer back to the root node.
