Receive an Exact Number of Bytes as Encoded Text

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveNBytesENC, which receives exactly the requested number of bytes and returns them encoded using a named encoding. It waits until the full count is received.

let socket = chilkat::Socket::new();

// Connect to the server using TLS.
let b_tls = true;
let max_wait_ms = 5000;
if socket.connect("example.com", 5000, b_tls, max_wait_ms).is_err() {
    println!("{}", socket.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// MaxReadIdleMs controls the inactivity limit for receiving.  The ReceiveNBytesENC call will fail if
// incoming bytes halt for longer than this many milliseconds before the full amount is received.
socket.set_max_read_idle_ms(15000);

// Receive exactly the requested number of bytes and return them encoded using the named encoding.
// Unlike ReceiveBytesENC, this waits until the full count has been received.
let Ok(hex) = socket.receive_n_bytes_enc(16, "hex") else {
    println!("{}", socket.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("{}", hex);
