#  Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
#  In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

#  - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
#  - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
#  - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

socket_for_sending = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_sending)
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

socket_for_monitor = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_monitor)
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
