Receive an Exact Number of Bytes as Encoded Text

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveNBytesENC, which receives exactly the requested number of bytes and returns them encoded using a named encoding. It waits until the full count is received.

Local $bSuccess = False

$oSocket = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Socket")

;  Connect to the server using TLS.
Local $bTls = True
Local $iMaxWaitMs = 5000
$bSuccess = $oSocket.Connect("example.com",5000,$bTls,$iMaxWaitMs)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSocket.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  MaxReadIdleMs controls the inactivity limit for receiving.  The ReceiveNBytesENC call will fail if
;  incoming bytes halt for longer than this many milliseconds before the full amount is received.
$oSocket.MaxReadIdleMs = 15000

;  Receive exactly the requested number of bytes and return them encoded using the named encoding.
;  Unlike ReceiveBytesENC, this waits until the full count has been received.
Local $sHex = $oSocket.ReceiveNBytesENC(16,"hex")
If ($oSocket.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSocket.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite($sHex & @CRLF)
