Connect a TCP or TLS Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Connect, which establishes a TCP connection to a host and port. Setting the TLS argument to _TRUE_ performs a TLS handshake after the TCP connection succeeds.

    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")

    //  The socket is now connected and ready to send and receive data using whatever protocol the
    //  application implements.
    fmt.Println("Connected: ", socket.IsConnected())

    //  Close the connection when finished.  The argument is the maximum time to wait for a clean
    //  shutdown, in milliseconds.
    success = socket.Close(1000)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }
