Visual FoxPro Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Accept Connection on Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how to create a TCP/IP socket, listen on a port, accept an incoming connection, and send a "Hello World" message to the client. Visual FoxPro

*  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
*  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loListenSocket = CreateObject('Chilkat.Socket')

*  Bind to a port and listen for incoming connections:
*  This example will listen at port 5555 and allows for a backlog
*  of 25 pending connection requests.
lnSuccess = loListenSocket.BindAndListen(5555,25)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loListenSocket.LastErrorText

ENDIF

*  Get the next incoming connection
*  Wait a maximum of 20 seconds (20000 millisec)

lnSuccess = loListenSocket.AcceptNext(20000,loConnectedSocket)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loListenSocket.LastErrorText

    RELEASE loConnectedSocket
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
loConnectedSocket.MaxReadIdleMs = 10000
loConnectedSocket.MaxSendIdleMs = 10000

*  Send a "Hello World!" message to the client:

IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loConnectedSocket.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loListenSocket
    RELEASE loConnectedSocket

*  Close the connection with the client.
*  Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
