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.

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Socket
integer li_BTls
integer li_MaxWaitMs
oleobject loo_Bd

li_Success = 0

loo_Socket = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Socket.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Socket")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Socket
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

//  Connect to the server using TLS.
li_BTls = 1
li_MaxWaitMs = 5000
li_Success = loo_Socket.Connect("example.com",5000,li_BTls,li_MaxWaitMs)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    return
end if

//  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.
loo_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.
loo_Bd = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Bd.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.BinData")

li_Success = loo_Socket.ReceiveBdN(256,loo_Bd)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    destroy loo_Bd
    return
end if

Write-Debug "Received " + string(loo_Bd.NumBytes) + " bytes."
