Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy server.

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

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

# 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.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com")
socket.put_HttpProxyPort(3128)

# 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.
hostname = "192.168.1.108"
ssl = false
maxWaitMillisec = 20000
success = socket.Connect(hostname,5555,ssl,maxWaitMillisec)
if (success != true)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
socket.put_MaxReadIdleMs(10000)
socket.put_MaxSendIdleMs(10000)

# The ficticious server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
# message.  Read it:
receivedMsg = socket.receiveString()
if (socket.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

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

print receivedMsg + "\n";
