' This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

' Using a SOCKS4 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
' Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
' the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

' Set the SocksVersion property = 4 for SOCKS4
http.SocksVersion = 4

' Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address, 
' which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
http.SocksHostname = "192.168.1.100"

' The port where the SOCKS4 proxy is listening.
http.SocksPort = 1080

' Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
Dim html As String
