Close a Socket Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

        Send CreateComObject of hoSocket

    //  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.
    Move True To iBTls

    //  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
    Set ComStringCharset Of hoSocket To "utf-8"

    //  Gracefully close the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection.  The argument is the maximum
    //  number of milliseconds to wait for clean shutdown processing (0 waits indefinitely).
