Revert a TLS Connection to Plain TCP

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ConvertFromSsl, which ends the TLS layer while leaving the underlying TCP connection open for subsequent unencrypted communication.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local socket = chilkat.Socket.new()

-- Connect to the server using TLS.
local bTls = true
local maxWaitMs = 5000
local success = socket:connect("example.com", 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- End the TLS layer while keeping the underlying TCP connection open for subsequent unencrypted
-- communication.  This is the reverse of a STARTTLS-style upgrade and is valid only while TLS is
-- active.
success = socket:convert_from_ssl()
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Reverted to a plain TCP connection.")
