HTTPS Requests over Squid Proxy Direct TLS Connection

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send HTTP requests through an HTTP proxy that supports Direct TLS Connections. (Chilkat tests with a squid 4.11 proxy.)

A direct TLS connection to an HTTP proxy is where the initial connection to the proxy server is TLS.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

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

oHttp := CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

//  Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address.
oHttp:ProxyDomain := "172.16.16.46"
//  The proxy port..
oHttp:ProxyPort := 3128

//  Indicate that we are to use a direct TLS connection with the HTTP proxy
//  (we use a Squid Cache: Version 4.11 for testing)
oHttp:ProxyDirectTls := 1

//  If the proxy requires a login or password, we can set it here.
//  Otherwise comment out these lines.
oHttp:ProxyLogin := "myProxyLogin"
oHttp:ProxyPassword := "myProxyPassword"

//  All requests sent on the http object will now go through the proxy.
//  Give it a test:
s := oHttp:QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.html")
IF (oHttp:LastMethodSuccess == 0)
    ? oHttp:LastErrorText
    oHttp:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  The LastErrorText property also contains information when method call succeeds.
//  Have a look to see that the request was sent through the proxy:
? oHttp:LastErrorText

? "---"
? s
? "---"
? "Success for TLS destination over direct TLS HTTP proxy."
