See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ConvertToSsl, which upgrades an already-connected plain TCP socket to TLS by performing a client-side TLS handshake over the existing connection.

    var socket = new chilkat.Socket();

    //  Connect as plain TCP (no TLS yet).
    var bTls = false;
    var maxWaitMs = 5000;

    if (success == false) {
        console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  At the point where the application protocol permits a STARTTLS-style upgrade, perform any required
    //  negotiation, then upgrade the existing connection to TLS with a client-side handshake.

    if (success == false) {
        console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
