Receive a Line Terminated by CRLF

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveToCRLF, which receives text through a CRLF line terminator and returns the text including the terminator.

success = false

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

#  Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
#  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
bTls = true
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";

#  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
socket.put_StringCharset("utf-8")
#  Send a request using a simple application-defined text protocol in which each message ends with a
#  CRLF.

#  Receive text through a CRLF line terminator, returning the text including the terminator.  This is
#  convenient for line-oriented text protocols in which each response is a CRLF-terminated line.
responseLine = socket.receiveToCRLF()

    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
