(JavaScript) HTTP/HTTPS using SOCKS5 Proxy

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

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

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

var http = new CkHttp();

// 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.
var html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.google.com/");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(html);
console.log("----");
console.log("Success!");
