#  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.CkSocket()
#  Use your SOCKS proxy server domain or IP address.
socket.put_SocksHostname("mysocksproxyserver.com")
#  Change this to the listening port of your SOCKS proxy server (if necessary)
socket.put_SocksPort(1080)
socket.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
socket.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
#  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
#  of the SOCKS proxy server:
socket.put_SocksVersion(5)
#  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
#  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

#  We don't need to connect the socket beforehand.
#  Just tell oauth2 to use the socket which has the SOCKS proxy properties.

#  The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
