Accept the Next Incoming Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.AcceptNext, which waits for and accepts the next incoming connection on a listening socket, delivering it as a new connected Socket.

Background. A maxWaitMs of 0 waits indefinitely; a positive value waits up to that many milliseconds. For a TLS listener, acceptance includes the server-side TLS handshake.
