Receive an Exact Number of Bytes into a BinData

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBdN, which receives exactly the requested number of bytes and appends them to a BinData, continuing until the full count is satisfied.

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()

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

# Receive exactly the requested number of bytes, appending them to a BinData.  The method continues
# receiving until the full count is satisfied or a failure occurs.
bd = chilkat2.BinData()
success = socket.ReceiveBdN(256,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Received " + str(bd.NumBytes) + " bytes.")
