Accept the Next Incoming Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.AcceptNext, which waits for and accepts the next incoming connection on a listening socket, delivering it as a new connected Socket.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim socket As ChilkatSocket
socket.Initialize("socket")

success = socket.BindAndListen(5000, 25)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Wait for and accept the next incoming connection on the listening socket.  maxWaitMs = 0 waits
'  indefinitely; a positive value waits up to that many milliseconds.  For a TLS listener, acceptance
'  includes the server-side TLS handshake.
Dim connectedSock As ChilkatSocket
connectedSock.Initialize("connectedSock")
success = socket.AcceptNext(20000, connectedSock)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Log("Accepted a connection from " & connectedSock.RemoteIpAddress)
