SSL Client Example

Demonstrates how to connect to an SSL server, send a simple message, receive a simple response, and disconnect.

Chilkat Module for Perl 5.8.*

use chilkat;

$socket = new chilkat::CkSocket();

$success = $socket->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if ($success != 1) {
    print "Failed to unlock component" . "\n";
    exit;
}

$ssl = 1;
$maxWaitMillisec = 20000;

#  The SSL server hostname may be an IP address, a domain name,
#  or "localhost".  You'll need to change this:

$sslServerHost = "123.123.88.88";
$sslServerPort = 8123;

#  Connect to the SSL server:
$success = $socket->Connect($sslServerHost,$sslServerPort,$ssl,$maxWaitMillisec);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $socket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
$socket->put_MaxReadIdleMs(20000);
$socket->put_MaxSendIdleMs(20000);

#  Send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" message:
$success = $socket->SendString("Hello Server! -EOM-");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $socket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Client! -EOM-"
#  message.  Read it:

$receivedMsg = $socket->receiveUntilMatch("-EOM-");
if ($receivedMsg eq null ) {
    print $socket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Close the connection with the server
#  Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
$socket->Close(20000);

print $receivedMsg . "\n";
