Close a Socket Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$socket = New-Object Chilkat.Socket

#  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.
$bTls = $true
$maxWaitMs = 5000
$success = $socket.Connect("example.com",5000,$bTls,$maxWaitMs)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
$socket.StringCharset = "utf-8"

#  Gracefully close the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection.  The argument is the maximum
#  number of milliseconds to wait for clean shutdown processing (0 waits indefinitely).
$success = $socket.Close(1000)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
