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

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

// To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to calling Connect.  The connection may be SSL/TLS or 
// non-secure - both will work with a SOCKS proxy.
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
socket.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
socket.SocksPort = 1080
socket.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
socket.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
socket.SocksVersion = 5
// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

// Connect to port 5555 of 192.168.1.108.
// hostname may be a domain name or IP address.
Dim hostname As String
hostname = "192.168.1.108"
Dim ssl As Boolean
ssl = False
Dim maxWaitMillisec As Int32
maxWaitMillisec = 20000
Dim success As Boolean
success = socket.Connect(hostname,5555,ssl,maxWaitMillisec)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 10000
socket.MaxSendIdleMs = 10000

// The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
// message.  Read it:
Dim receivedMsg As String
receivedMsg = socket.ReceiveString()
If (socket.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

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

System.DebugLog(receivedMsg)
