SMTP using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to communicate with an SMTP server via an HTTP proxy. Objective-C

#import <CkoMailMan.h>
#import <CkoEmail.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

//  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
CkoMailMan *mailman = [[CkoMailMan alloc] init];

//  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.
mailman.HttpProxyHostname = @"www.my-http-proxy.com";
mailman.HttpProxyPort = [NSNumber numberWithInt:3128];

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

//  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = @"smtp.chilkatsoft.com";

//  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = @"myUsername";
mailman.SmtpPassword = @"myPassword";

//  Create a new email object
CkoEmail *email = [[CkoEmail alloc] init];

email.Subject = @"This is a test";
email.Body = @"This is a test";
email.From = @"Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>";
success = [email AddTo: @"Chilkat Admin" emailAddress: @"admin@chilkatsoft.com"];

//  Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server via the HTTP proxy and send.
//  The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
//  open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
//  same connection.  
success = [mailman SendEmail: email];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
//  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
//  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
//  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
//  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
//  for the example:
success = [mailman CloseSmtpConnection];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",@"Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.");
}

NSLog(@"%@",@"Mail Sent!");
