WebSocket Connect through HTTP Proxy

This example shows how to establish a WebSocket connection through an HTTP proxy server. Lianja

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// --------------------------------------------------
// This example borrows the code from the REST using HTTP Proxy example.
// We first use the Chilkat Socket object to establish a connection to the WebSocket server through an HTTP proxy.
// Next, the Rest object uses the Socket object for its connection.
// Finally, the WebSocket object uses the Rest object for its connection.
