Send a String over a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SendString, which encodes a string using StringCharset and sends the resulting bytes over the connected socket. No delimiter, terminator, or length prefix is added.

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Socket
integer li_BTls
integer li_MaxWaitMs
string ls_Message

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.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
//  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
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

//  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
loo_Socket.StringCharset = "utf-8"

//  Encode the string using StringCharset and send the resulting bytes.  No delimiter, terminator, or
//  length prefix is added; the exact bytes are sent.  This example sends a command for a simple
//  application-defined text protocol.
ls_Message = "STATUS~r~n"
li_Success = loo_Socket.SendString(ls_Message)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    return
end if

Write-Debug "Message sent."
