Receive a Block of Bytes to a File

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBytesToFile, which receives one available block of bytes and appends it to a file.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

require 'chilkat'

success = false

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

#  Connect to the server using TLS.
bTls = true
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
#  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

#  Receive one available block of bytes and append it to a file.  If bytes are already buffered,
#  they are used first; otherwise a single receive operation is performed.
success = socket.ReceiveBytesToFile("qa_output/received.dat")
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Received block appended to the file." + "\n";
