Close a Socket Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $socket = Chilkat2::Socket->new;

# Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
# connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
my $bTls = 1;
my $maxWaitMs = 5000;
my $success = $socket->Connect('example.com', 5000, $bTls, $maxWaitMs);
if (!$success) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
$socket->StringCharset('utf-8');

# Gracefully close the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection.  The argument is the maximum
# number of milliseconds to wait for clean shutdown processing (0 waits indefinitely).
$success = $socket->Close(1000);
if (!$success) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print "Connection closed.\n";
