Receive an Exact Number of Bytes into a BinData

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBdN, which receives exactly the requested number of bytes and appends them to a BinData, continuing until the full count is satisfied.

function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

    var socket = new chilkat.Socket();

    //  Connect to the server using TLS.
    var bTls = true;
    var maxWaitMs = 5000;
    success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  MaxReadIdleMs controls the inactivity limit for receiving.  The ReceiveBdN call will fail if
    //  incoming bytes halt for longer than this many milliseconds before the full amount is received.
    socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 15000;

    //  Receive exactly the requested number of bytes, appending them to a BinData.  The method continues
    //  receiving until the full count is satisfied or a failure occurs.
    var bd = new chilkat.BinData();

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

    console.log("Received " + bd.NumBytes + " bytes.");
