REST through HTTP Proxy

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy to make REST API calls. C#

bool success = false;

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

// This example connects to a REST server through an HTTP proxy.
// It will connect to the Amazon AWS service for this example.
Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();
Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

// Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address, and port.
socket.HttpProxyHostname = "192.168.1.100";
socket.HttpProxyPort = 8088;

// We want to tell the socket object that we're doing HTTP over the proxy connection.
// This is because an HTTP proxy used for other protocols (IMAP, SMTP, SSH, FTP, etc.) 
// can require some internal differences in behavior (i.e. how we do things).
socket.HttpProxyForHttp = true;

// Other properties exist for specifying a proxy login, password, and authentication method (such as NTLM),
// but these are not used in this example.

// Connect through the HTTP proxy to the Amazon AWS server for the S3 service.
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
int maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("s3.amazonaws.com",port,bTls,maxWaitMs);

    Debug.WriteLine("Connect Failure Error Code: " + Convert.ToString(socket.ConnectFailReason));
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Use the proxied TLS connection:
success = rest.UseConnection(socket,true);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.

authAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY";
authAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY";

    return;
}

// Show the full XML returned.

// Iterate over the buckets, showing each bucket name.
