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

let socket = chilkat::Socket::new();

// To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to calling Connect.  The connection may be SSL/TLS or 
// non-secure - both will work with a SOCKS proxy.
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
socket.set_socks_hostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
socket.set_socks_port(1080);
socket.set_socks_username("myProxyLogin");
socket.set_socks_password("myProxyPassword");
// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
socket.set_socks_version(5);
// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

// Connect to port 5555 of 192.168.1.108.
// hostname may be a domain name or IP address.
let hostname = "192.168.1.108".to_string();
let ssl = false;
let max_wait_millisec = 20000;
if socket.connect(&hostname, 5555, ssl, max_wait_millisec).is_err() {
    println!("{}", socket.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
socket.set_max_read_idle_ms(10000);
socket.set_max_send_idle_ms(10000);

// The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
// message.  Read it:
let Ok(received_msg) = socket.receive_string() else {
    println!("{}", socket.last_error_text());
    return;
};

// Close the connection with the server
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
let _ = socket.close(20000).is_ok();

println!("{}", received_msg);
