Demonstrates KeepSessionLog and SessionLog

The Chilkat Socket component provides properties for keeping a session log making it possible to see the exact bytes received and sent on a TCP/IP or SSL/TLS connection. To enable session logging, set the KeepSessionLog property = _TRUE_. The SessionLogEncoding property controls how binary, non-printable bytes are represented in the log. There are two possible settings: Possible values are "esc" and "hex". The default value is "esc".

When set to "hex", the bytes are encoded as a hexidecimalized string. The "esc" encoding is a C-string like encoding, and is more compact than hex if most of the data to be logged is text. Printable us-ascii chars are unmodified. Common "C" control chars are represented as "\r", "\n", "\t", etc. Non-printable and byte values greater than 0x80 are escaped using a backslash and hex encoding: \xHH. Certain printable chars are backslashed: SPACE, double-quote, single-quote, etc.

// This example assumes the Chilkat Socket API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Socket Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

// Enable session logging:
socket.KeepSessionLog = true;
socket.SessionLogEncoding = "esc";

bool tls = true;
int maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
success = socket.Connect("www.chilkatsoft.com",443,tls,maxWaitMillisec);

// Send a GET start line to the web server..
success = socket.SendString("GET /abc123.abc123 HTTP/1.1\r\n");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);

// Send some bytes that will cause an error...
Chilkat.BinData binData = new Chilkat.BinData();
binData.AppendEncoded("01020304","hex");
success = socket.SendBd(binData);

// Read the response up to the first double CRLF:
string httpHeader = socket.ReceiveUntilMatch("\r\n\r\n");
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Close the connection with the server
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
socket.Close(20000);

// Display the session log:
Debug.WriteLine(socket.SessionLog);

// The Session log will show the exact bytes sent and received.
// In this case, the session log shows:
