#  The SSL server hostname may be an IP address, a domain name,

#  Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)

socket.put_MaxSendIdleMs(20000)

#  Send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" message:

if (success != True):
    print socket.lastErrorText()

#  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)
