Bind and Listen on an Available Port in a Range

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.BindAndListenPortRange, which searches an inclusive port range for an available TCP port, binds it, and begins listening. It returns the selected port, or -1 on failure.

function chilkatExample() {

    var socket = new chilkat.Socket();

    //  Search the inclusive port range for an available TCP port, bind it, and begin listening.  The
    //  method returns the selected port, or -1 when no port can be bound.
    var boundPort = socket.BindAndListenPortRange(5000,5100,25);
    if (boundPort < 0) {
        console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log("Listening on port " + boundPort);
