    var socket = new chilkat.Socket();

    //  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.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com";
    socket.HttpProxyPort = 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.
    var hostname = "192.168.1.108";
    var ssl = false;
    var maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
    success = socket.Connect(hostname,5555,ssl,maxWaitMillisec);
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log(socket.LastErrorText);

    }

    //  Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
    socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 10000;
    socket.MaxSendIdleMs = 10000;

    //  The ficticious server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
    //  message.  Read it:
    var receivedMsg = socket.ReceiveString();
    if (socket.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
        console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  Close the connection with the server
    //  Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
    success = socket.Close(20000);
