Demonstrates KeepSessionLog and SessionLog

The Chilkat Socket component provides properties for keeping a session log making it possible to see the exact bytes received and sent on a TCP/IP or SSL/TLS connection. To enable session logging, set the KeepSessionLog property = _TRUE_. The SessionLogEncoding property controls how binary, non-printable bytes are represented in the log. There are two possible settings: Possible values are "esc" and "hex". The default value is "esc".

When set to "hex", the bytes are encoded as a hexidecimalized string. The "esc" encoding is a C-string like encoding, and is more compact than hex if most of the data to be logged is text. Printable us-ascii chars are unmodified. Common "C" control chars are represented as "\r", "\n", "\t", etc. Non-printable and byte values greater than 0x80 are escaped using a backslash and hex encoding: \xHH. Certain printable chars are backslashed: SPACE, double-quote, single-quote, etc.

<?php

use Chilkat2\BinData;
use Chilkat2\Socket;

// This example assumes the Chilkat Socket API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Socket Unlock Sample for sample code.

$socket = new Socket();

// Enable session logging:
$socket->KeepSessionLog = true;
$socket->SessionLogEncoding = 'esc';

$tls = true;
$maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
try {
    $socket->Connect('www.chilkatsoft.com', 443, $tls, $maxWaitMillisec);

    // Send a GET start line to the web server..
    $socket->SendString("GET /abc123.abc123 HTTP/1.1\r\n");

    // Send some bytes that will cause an error...
    $binData = new BinData();
    $binData->AppendEncoded('01020304', 'hex');
    $socket->SendBd($binData, 0, 0);

    // Read the response up to the first double CRLF:
    $httpHeader = $socket->ReceiveUntilMatch("\r\n\r\n");
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Close the connection with the server
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
$socket->Close(20000);

// Display the session log:
echo $socket->SessionLog, "\n";

// The Session log will show the exact bytes sent and received.
// In this case, the session log shows:

//     SendString: GET\x20/abc123.abc123\x20HTTP/1.1\r\n
