Receive Bytes up to a Delimiter into a BinData

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveUntilByteBd, which reads bytes until a delimiter byte is encountered and appends all bytes up to and including the delimiter to a BinData.

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

-- Read bytes until the delimiter byte is encountered, appending all bytes up to and including the
-- delimiter to a BinData.  The delimiter is a raw byte value from 0 through 255 (here the linefeed
-- byte, decimal 10).
local bd = chilkat.BinData.new()
success = socket:receive_until_byte_bd(10, bd)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Received " .. bd.num_bytes .. " bytes (including the delimiter).")
