Move a Connection into Another Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.TakeConnection, which moves the active connection from one Socket into another. The receiving object first releases any connection it previously held.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

listenSock = chilkat2.Socket()

success = listenSock.BindAndListen(5000,25)
if (success == False):
    print(listenSock.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

connectedSock = chilkat2.Socket()
success = listenSock.AcceptNext(20000,connectedSock)
if (success == False):
    print(listenSock.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Move the active connection out of connectedSock and into another Socket object.  Unlike
# TakeSocket, this does not add a member to a socket set.  After success, connectedSock holds no
# connection.
handlerSock = chilkat2.Socket()
success = handlerSock.TakeConnection(connectedSock)
if (success == False):
    print(handlerSock.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Connection moved to the handler socket.")
