Close a Socket Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

llSuccess = .F.

loSocket = createobject("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.
llBTls = .T.
lnMaxWaitMs = 5000
llSuccess = loSocket.Connect("example.com",5000,llBTls,lnMaxWaitMs)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    release loSocket
    return
endif

//  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
loSocket.StringCharset = "utf-8"

//  Gracefully close the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection.  The argument is the maximum
//  number of milliseconds to wait for clean shutdown processing (0 waits indefinitely).
llSuccess = loSocket.Close(1000)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    release loSocket
    return
endif

? "Connection closed."
