# Using a SOCKS4 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
# Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
# the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

# Set the SocksVersion property = 4 for SOCKS4
$http->put_SocksVersion(4);

# Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address, 
# which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
$http->put_SocksHostname("192.168.1.100");

# The port where the SOCKS4 proxy is listening.
$http->put_SocksPort(1080);

# Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
