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

$socket = New-Object Chilkat.Socket

# 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.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
$socket.SocksPort = 1080
$socket.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
$socket.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
$socket.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.
$hostname = "192.168.1.108"
$ssl = $false
$maxWaitMillisec = 20000
$success = $socket.Connect($hostname,5555,$ssl,$maxWaitMillisec)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

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

# The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
# message.  Read it:
$receivedMsg = $socket.ReceiveString()
if ($socket.LastMethodSuccess -ne $true) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

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

$($receivedMsg)
