TCP Socket Connect through HTTP Proxy

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy server. Tcl

set success 0

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

set socket [new_CkSocket]

# 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.
CkSocket_put_HttpProxyHostname $socket "www.my-http-proxy.com"
CkSocket_put_HttpProxyPort $socket 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.

# Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
