Receive a Bounded String from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveStringMaxN, which receives and decodes text like ReceiveString but reads at most a given number of input bytes.

    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")
    //  Send a request using a simple application-defined text protocol in which each message ends with a
    //  CRLF.
    command := "STATUS\r\n"
    success = socket.SendString(command)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return

    //  Receive and decode text like ReceiveString, but read at most the given number of input bytes.
    //  The limit is measured in bytes, not Unicode characters.
