Duplicate a Socket Wrapper Sharing the Connection

Demonstrates Socket.DupSocket, which populates a destination Socket with another wrapper that shares this object's underlying connection.

Background. The shared connection is reference-counted, and all wrappers operate on the same live connection. The destination first releases any connection it previously held.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

var socket = new CkSocket();

//  Connect to the server using TLS.
var bTls = true;
var maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Create a second Socket wrapper that shares this object's underlying connection.  Both wrappers
//  operate on the same live connection; the shared connection is reference-counted.
var dupSock = new CkSocket();
success = socket.DupSocket(dupSock);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Duplicate socket wrapper created.");
