TCP Socket Connect through HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy server. Objective-C

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

CkoSocket *socket = [[CkoSocket 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.
socket.HttpProxyHostname = @"www.my-http-proxy.com";

// 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.
