require 'rubygems'

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != true)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  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.
