    // --------------------------------------------------
    // This example borrows the code from the REST using SOCKS Proxy example.
    // We first use the Chilkat Socket object to establish a connection to the WebSocket server through a SOCKS proxy.
    // Next, the Rest object uses the Socket object for its connection.
    // Finally, the WebSocket object uses the Rest object for its connection.  
    //
