    // 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 := chilkat.NewSocket()
    // Use your SOCKS proxy server domain or IP address.
    socket.SetSocksHostname("mysocksproxyserver.com")
    // Change this to the listening port of your SOCKS proxy server (if necessary)
    socket.SetSocksPort(1080)
    socket.SetSocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
    socket.SetSocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    socket.SetSocksVersion(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.
    success = oauth2.UseConnection(socket)

    // This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
    // The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
