(Lianja) HTTPS Requests over Squid Proxy Direct TLS Connection

Demonstrates how to send HTTP requests through an HTTP proxy that supports Direct TLS Connections. (Chilkat tests with a squid 4.11 proxy.)

A direct TLS connection to an HTTP proxy is where the initial connection to the proxy server is TLS.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

For more information, see https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/HTTPS#Direct_TLS_connection

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

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

// Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address.
loHttp.ProxyDomain = "172.16.16.46"
// The proxy port..
loHttp.ProxyPort = 3128

// Indicate that we are to use a direct TLS connection with the HTTP proxy
// (we use a Squid Cache: Version 4.11 for testing)
loHttp.ProxyDirectTls = .T.

// If the proxy requires a login or password, we can set it here.
// Otherwise comment out these lines.
loHttp.ProxyLogin = "myProxyLogin"
loHttp.ProxyPassword = "myProxyPassword"

// All requests sent on the http object will now go through the proxy.
// Give it a test:
s = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.html")
if (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loHttp
    return
endif

// The LastErrorText property also contains information when method call succeeds.
// Have a look to see that the request was sent through the proxy:
? loHttp.LastErrorText

? "---"
? s
? "---"
? "Success for TLS destination over direct TLS HTTP proxy."
