Setting socks5 proxy for long polling bot

[Bartosso]

Hello! It is possible to set socks5 proxy for long polling bot? And how it can be done if it is?

Sorry for the late reponse, I just added SOCKS support to the ScalajHttpClient, there's a big update coming soon, check the refactor branch.

A proxied bot (via long polling) would look like this:

import java.net.{InetSocketAddress, Proxy}

import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.api.Polling
import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.api.declarative.Commands
import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.clients.ScalajHttpClient

/**
  * Tunnel the bot through a SOCKS proxy.
  *
  * To test locally via [[https://linux.die.net/man/8/sshd sshd]] use:
  *   ssh -D 1337 -C -N you_user_name@localhost
  */
class ProxyBot(token: String) extends ExampleBot(token)
  with Polling
  with Commands {

  val proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.SOCKS, InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved("localhost", 1337))
  override val client = new ScalajHttpClient(token, proxy)

  onCommand('hello) { implicit msg =>
    reply("Hi " + msg.from.fold("Mr. X")(_.firstName))
  }
}

See instructions below on how to get the latest build (with proxy support).

To pull 3.1.0-RC1 please add to your build.sbt

resolvers += Resolver.sonatypeRepo("staging")

// Core with Scalaj-Http backend: TelegramBot + Polling; it just works out-of-the box.
libraryDependencies ++= Seq("info.mukel" %% "telegrambot4s-core" % "3.1.0-RC1")

// Extensions with AkkHttp backend: AkkaTelegramBot + Webhooks + Game support
libraryDependencies ++= Seq("info.mukel" %% "telegrambot4s-akka" % "3.1.0-RC1")

Example bot + runner:

import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.api.{Polling, TelegramBot}
import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.api.declarative.Commands

import scala.concurrent.Await
import scala.concurrent.duration.Duration

class Botogram extends TelegramBot with Polling with Commands {
  override def token: String = "TOKEN"
  onCommand('hello) { implicit msg =>
    reply("Botogram")
  }
}

object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val bot = new Botogram()
    val eol = bot.run()
    scala.io.StdIn.readLine()
    bot.shutdown()
    Await.result(eol, Duration.Inf)
  }
}

Please report any issues.
