# To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
# properties prior to calling Connect.  The connection may be SSL/TLS or 
# non-secure - both will work with a SOCKS proxy.
# The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
# IP address:
$socket->put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
$socket->put_SocksPort(1080);
$socket->put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
$socket->put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
$socket->put_SocksVersion(5);
# Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
# SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

# Connect to port 5555 of 192.168.1.108.
# hostname may be a domain name or IP address.
