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.

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

$success = $false

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

#  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.
$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.
