Connect a TCP or TLS Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Connect, which establishes a TCP connection to a host and port. Setting the TLS argument to _TRUE_ performs a TLS handshake after the TCP connection succeeds.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let socket = CkoSocket()!

    //  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.
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var maxWaitMs: Int = 5000
    success = socket.connect(hostname: "example.com", port: 5000, ssl: bTls, maxWaitMs: maxWaitMs)
    if success == false {
        print("\(socket.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
    socket.stringCharset = "utf-8"

    //  The socket is now connected and ready to send and receive data using whatever protocol the
    //  application implements.
    print("Connected: \(socket.isConnected)")

    //  Close the connection when finished.  The argument is the maximum time to wait for a clean
    //  shutdown, in milliseconds.
    success = socket.close(maxWaitMs: 1000)
    if success == false {
        print("\(socket.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }
