Delphi ActiveX Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Example: Socket.DupSocket method

Demonstrates how to call the DupSocket method. Delphi ActiveX

var
success: Integer;
socket: TChilkatSocket;
socket_for_sending: TChilkatSocket;
socket_for_monitor: TChilkatSocket;

begin
success := 0;

socket := TChilkatSocket.Create(Self);
success := socket.Connect('example.com',443,1,5000);

//  ...
//  ...

//  Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
//  In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

//  - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
//  - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
//  - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

socket_for_sending := TChilkatSocket.Create(Self);
success := socket.DupSocket(socket_for_sending.ControlInterface);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(socket.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

socket_for_monitor := TChilkatSocket.Create(Self);
success := socket.DupSocket(socket_for_monitor.ControlInterface);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(socket.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

//  All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
