SSH using HTTP Proxy

See more SSH Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.51 or greater.

Demonstrates how to connect to an SSH server through an HTTP proxy. (Connects through a generic proxy of type: HTTP/1.1 using the CONNECT method.)

Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

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

Dim ssh As New ChilkatSsh

' 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.
ssh.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
ssh.HttpProxyPort = 3128

' Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
' traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

' Connect to an SSH server via an HTTP proxy:
Dim hostname As String
Dim port As Long

' Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
hostname = "192.168.1.108"
port = 22

success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Your application is now connected to an SSH server 
' through an HTTP proxy.
