SSL Server Example

Demonstrates how to create an SSL socket for accepting connections. This example is *very* simple in that it will create an SSL socket for accepting a single connection. It will read a message from the client, send a reply, and exit.

use chilkat;

$listenSslSocket = new chilkat::CkSocket();

#  Any string automatically begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.

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

#  An SSL server needs a digital certificate.  This example loads it from a PFX file.

#  Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
#  locate the certificate we need, and use it.
#  (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
$certStore = new chilkat::CkCertStore();
#  The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the
#  PFX file's password:
$success = $certStore->LoadPfxFile("chilkat.pfx","test");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $certStore->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Find the certificate to be used for SSL:

$cert = $certStore->FindCertBySubject("Chilkat Software, Inc.");
if ($cert eq null ) {
    print $certStore->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Use the certificate:
$success = $listenSslSocket->InitSslServer($cert);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $listenSslSocket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Bind and listen on a port:
$myPort = 8123;
#  Allow for a max of 5 queued connect requests.
$backLog = 5;
$success = $listenSslSocket->BindAndListen($myPort,$backLog);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $listenSslSocket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

#  Accept a single client connection:

$maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
$clientSock = $listenSslSocket->AcceptNextConnection($maxWaitMillisec);
if ($clientSock eq null ) {
    print $listenSslSocket->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

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

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

print $receivedMsg . "\n";

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

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