(Node.js) HTTP/HTTPS using SOCKS4 Proxy

Demonstrates how to use HTTP/HTTPS with a SOCKS4 proxy.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64');

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

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    // Using a SOCKS4 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 = 4 for SOCKS4
    http.SocksVersion = 4;

    // 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 SOCKS4 proxy is listening.
    http.SocksPort = 1080;

    // Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
    var html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.baidu.com/");
    if (http.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);

    }
