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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
# properties prior to communicating with the HTTP server:
# The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
# IP address:
http.put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com")
http.put_SocksPort(1080)
http.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
http.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
http.put_SocksVersion(5)
# Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
# SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

# Download the Python language install.
