Move a Connection into Another Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.TakeConnection, which moves the active connection from one Socket into another. The receiving object first releases any connection it previously held.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local listenSock = chilkat.Socket.new()

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

local connectedSock = chilkat.Socket.new()
success = listenSock:accept_next(20000, connectedSock)
if not success then
    print(listenSock.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Move the active connection out of connectedSock and into another Socket object.  Unlike
-- TakeSocket, this does not add a member to a socket set.  After success, connectedSock holds no
-- connection.
local handlerSock = chilkat.Socket.new()
success = handlerSock:take_connection(connectedSock)
if not success then
    print(handlerSock.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Connection moved to the handler socket.")
