Receive a Line Terminated by CRLF

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveToCRLF, which receives text through a CRLF line terminator and returns the text including the terminator.

Background. Chilkat encodes CR followed by LF using StringCharset and searches the incoming byte stream for that exact sequence. This is convenient for line-oriented text protocols.

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.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
//  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
var bTls = true;
var maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
socket.StringCharset = "utf-8";
//  Send a request using a simple application-defined text protocol in which each message ends with a
//  CRLF.
var command = "STATUS\r\n";
success = socket.SendString(command);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Receive text through a CRLF line terminator, returning the text including the terminator.  This is
//  convenient for line-oriented text protocols in which each response is a CRLF-terminated line.
var responseLine = socket.ReceiveToCRLF();
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(responseLine);
