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.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

socket = chilkat2.Socket()

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

# StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
socket.StringCharset = "utf-8"
# Send a request using a simple application-defined text protocol in which each message ends with a
# CRLF.
command = "STATUS\r\n"
success = socket.SendString(command)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Receive bytes until a specific raw byte value is found, then decode the preceding bytes using
# StringCharset.  The delimiter itself is excluded from the returned string.  Here the delimiter is
# the linefeed byte (decimal 10).
line = socket.ReceiveStringUntilByte(10)
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()
