#  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 != True):
    print socket.lastErrorText()
    sys.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 != True):
    print socket.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

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

receivedMsg = socket.receiveUntilMatch("-EOM-")
if (receivedMsg == None ):
    print socket.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Close the connection with the server
#  Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
socket.Close(20000)
