Poll a Socket for Available Data

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.PollDataAvailable, which performs a nonblocking check for readable activity and returns whether data or another read-ready condition is present.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

socket = chilkat2.Socket()

# Connect to the server using TLS.
bTls = True
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Perform a nonblocking check for readable data.  Returns True when data or another read-ready
# condition is present, and False when nothing is immediately available.
bAvailable = socket.PollDataAvailable()
if (bAvailable != True):
    print("No data is immediately available.")
else:
    print("Data is available to read.")
