Check Whether a Socket Is Writable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.CheckWriteable, which waits for the connected socket to become writable. It returns 1 if writable, 0 if it did not become writable before the timeout, or -1 on error.

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Int = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com", 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Wait up to 5 seconds for the socket to become writable.  Returns 1 if writable, 0 if it did not
'  become writable before the timeout, or -1 on error.
Dim writable As Int = socket.CheckWriteable(5000)
If writable < 0 Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

If writable <> 1 Then
    Log("The socket did not become writable before the timeout.")
    Return
End If

Log("The socket is writable.")
