Connect a TCP or TLS Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Connect, which establishes a TCP connection to a host and port. Setting the TLS argument to _TRUE_ performs a TLS handshake after the TCP connection succeeds.

//  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.

//  The socket is now connected and ready to send and receive data using whatever protocol the
//  application implements.

//  shutdown, in milliseconds.
