Asynchronous SSL Client Example

Demonstrates how to connect to an SSL server, send a simple message, receive a simple response, and disconnect. This example uses the asynchronous methods to connect, send, and receive.

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

success = socket.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")

#  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 asynchronously in a background thread.
success = socket.AsyncConnectStart(sslServerHost,sslServerPort,ssl,maxWaitMillisec)
if (success != true)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Wait for the socket to become connected...
while (socket.get_AsyncConnectFinished() != true)
    #  Sleep 1 second.
    socket.SleepMs(1000)
end

#  Did the connect fail?
if (socket.get_AsyncConnectSuccess() != true)
    print socket.asyncConnectLog() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  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.AsyncSendString("Hello Server! -EOM-")
if (success != true)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Wait for the send to finish
while (socket.get_AsyncSendFinished() != true)
    #  Sleep 1 second.
    socket.SleepMs(1000)
end

#  Did the send fail?
if (socket.get_AsyncSendSuccess() != true)
    print socket.asyncSendLog() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Client! -EOM-"
#  message.  Begin reading asynchronously in a background thread:
success = socket.AsyncReceiveUntilMatch("-EOM-")
if (success != true)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Wait for the background read to finish
while (socket.get_AsyncReceiveFinished() != true)
    #  Sleep 1 second.
    socket.SleepMs(1000)
end

#  Did the receive fail?
if (socket.get_AsyncReceiveSuccess() != true)
    print socket.asyncReceiveLog() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Display the received message:
print socket.asyncReceivedString() + "\n"

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