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.

Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();

    // Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address.
    http.setProxyDomain("172.16.16.46");
    // The proxy port..
    http.setProxyPort(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)
    http.setProxyDirectTls(true);

    // If the proxy requires a login or password, we can set it here.
    // Otherwise comment out these lines.
    http.setProxyLogin("myProxyLogin");
    http.setProxyPassword("myProxyPassword");

    // All requests sent on the http object will now go through the proxy.
    // Give it a test:
    const s = http.quickGetStr(alloc, "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.html") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // The LastErrorText property also contains information when method call succeeds.
    // Have a look to see that the request was sent through the proxy:
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastErrorText(alloc)});

    std.debug.print("---\n", .{});
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{s});
    std.debug.print("---\n", .{});
    std.debug.print("Success for TLS destination over direct TLS HTTP proxy.\n", .{});
