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.

    success := false

    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()

    //  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.
    bTls := true
    maxWaitMs := 5000
    success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    //  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
    socket.SetStringCharset("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).
    success = socket.Close(1000)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Connection closed.")

    socket.DisposeSocket()
