OAuth2 using a SOCKS Proxy (for a Desktop Application)

See more OAuth2 Examples

Explains how to use a SOCKS proxy to send OAuth2 communications for a desktop application, using Microsoft Graph as an example. This method applies to all OAuth2 applications. Delphi DLL

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

//  To use a SOCKS proxy with OAuth2, create a Chilkat socket object and specify the details for the
//  SOCKS proxy server (SOCKS4 or SOCKS5).
socket := CkSocket_Create();
//  Use your SOCKS proxy server domain or IP address.
CkSocket_putSocksHostname(socket,'mysocksproxyserver.com');

//  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
//  of the SOCKS proxy server:
CkSocket_putSocksVersion(socket,5);
//  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
//  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

//  Just tell oauth2 to use the socket which has the SOCKS proxy properties.
