Receive a Line Terminated by CRLF

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveToCRLF, which receives text through a CRLF line terminator and returns the text including the terminator.

var

socket: TChilkatSocket;

//  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.

//  Send a request using a simple application-defined text protocol in which each message ends with a
//  CRLF.
