HTTP/HTTPS using SOCKS5 Proxy

See more HTTP Examples

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

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// 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.set_socks_version(5);

// Set the SocksHostname to the SOCKS proxy domain name or IP address, 
// which may be IPv4 (dotted notation) or IPv6.
http.set_socks_hostname("192.168.1.100");

// The port where the SOCKS5 proxy is listening.
http.set_socks_port(1080);

// If the SOCKS5 proxy itself requires authentication, set the username/password 
// like this.  (otherwise leave the username/password empty)
http.set_socks_username("myUsername");
http.set_socks_password("myPassword");

// Now do whatever it is you need to do.  All communications will go through the proxy.
let Ok(html) = http.quick_get_str("https://www.google.com/") else {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("{}", html);
println!("----");
println!("Success!");
