Wait for a Socket to Become Readable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SelectForReading, which waits for read-ready activity on the socket, or on any contained socket when the object is a socket set. It returns 1 if ready, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.

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

$success = $false

$socket = New-Object Chilkat.Socket

#  Connect to the server using TLS.

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

#  Wait up to 5 seconds for read-ready activity on the socket (or, for a socket set, on any contained
#  socket).  Returns 1 if ready, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.
$ready = $socket.SelectForReading(5000)
if ($ready -lt 0) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

if ($ready -ne 1) {
    $("No data became available before the timeout.")
    exit
}

$("The socket has data ready to read.")
