Wait for a Socket to Become Readable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SelectForReading, which waits for read-ready activity on the socket, or on any contained socket when the object is a socket set. It returns 1 if ready, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.

    success := false

    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()

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

    //  Wait up to 5 seconds for read-ready activity on the socket (or, for a socket set, on any contained
    //  socket).  Returns 1 if ready, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.
    ready := socket.SelectForReading(5000)
    if ready < 0 {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    if ready != 1 {
        fmt.Println("No data became available before the timeout.")
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("The socket has data ready to read.")
