Receive a Single Byte from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveByte, which reads exactly one byte and stores its numeric value in the ReceivedInt property. The argument selects signed or unsigned interpretation.

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Socket
integer li_BTls
integer li_MaxWaitMs
integer li_BUnsigned

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

//  Read exactly one byte.  Its numeric value is stored in the ReceivedInt property.  Passing 1
//  interprets the byte as unsigned (0 through 255); 0 interprets it as signed.
li_BUnsigned = 1
li_Success = loo_Socket.ReceiveByte(li_BUnsigned)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    return
end if

Write-Debug "Received byte value: " + string(loo_Socket.ReceivedInt)
