(Ruby) Example: Socket.DupSocket method

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()
success = socket.Connect("example.com",443,true,5000)

# ...

# 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.
