Accept the Next Incoming Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.AcceptNext, which waits for and accepts the next incoming connection on a listening socket, delivering it as a new connected Socket.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local socket = chilkat.Socket.new()

local success = socket:bind_and_listen(5000, 25)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Wait for and accept the next incoming connection on the listening socket.  maxWaitMs = 0 waits
-- indefinitely; a positive value waits up to that many milliseconds.  For a TLS listener, acceptance
-- includes the server-side TLS handshake.
local connectedSock = chilkat.Socket.new()
success = socket:accept_next(20000, connectedSock)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Accepted a connection from " .. connectedSock.remote_ip_address)
