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.

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

socket = chilkat.CkSocket()

#  Connect to the server using TLS.
bTls = True
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 < 0):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

if (ready != 1):
    print("No data became available before the timeout.")
    sys.exit()

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