Receive Text up to a Delimiter Byte

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveStringUntilByte, which receives bytes until a specific raw byte value is found, then decodes the preceding bytes using StringCharset. The delimiter is excluded from the returned string.

;  Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
;  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.

$bSuccess = $oSocket.Connect("example.com",5000,$bTls,$iMaxWaitMs)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
