HTTP/HTTPS using SOCKS5 Proxy

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to use HTTP/HTTPS with a SOCKS5 proxy. B4X

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

Dim http As ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("http")

'  Using a SOCKS5 proxy is just a matter of setting a few properties.
'  Once these properties are set, all other coding is the same as when
'  the connection is direct to the HTTP server.

'  Set the SocksVersion property = 5 for SOCKS5
http.SocksVersion = 5

'  Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address, 
'  which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
http.SocksHostname = "192.168.1.100"

'  The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
http.SocksPort = 1080

'  If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password 
'  like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
http.SocksUsername = "myUsername"
http.SocksPassword = "myPassword"


'  Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
Dim html As String = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.google.com/")
If http.LastMethodSuccess <> True Then
    Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Log(html)
Log("----")
Log("Success!")
