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

    var sftp = new chilkat.SFtp();

    // 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.
    sftp.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com";
    sftp.HttpProxyPort = 3128;

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

    // Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
    var success = sftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22);
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log(sftp.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

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