Wait for a Socket to Become Writable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SelectForWriting, which waits for the socket, or sockets in a socket set, to become writable. It returns 1 if writable, 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 the socket (or sockets in a socket set) to become writable.  Returns 1 if
#  writable, 0 on timeout, or -1 on error.
ready = socket.SelectForWriting(5000)
if (ready < 0):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

if (ready != 1):
    print("The socket did not become writable before the timeout.")
    sys.exit()

print("The socket is ready for writing.")
