Duplicate a Socket Wrapper Sharing the Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.DupSocket, which populates a destination Socket with another wrapper that shares this object's underlying connection.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let socket = CkoSocket()!

    //  Connect to the server using TLS.
    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
    }

    //  Create a second Socket wrapper that shares this object's underlying connection.  Both wrappers
    //  operate on the same live connection; the shared connection is reference-counted.
    let dupSock = CkoSocket()!
    success = socket.dup(dest: dupSock)
    if success == false {
        print("\(socket.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Duplicate socket wrapper created.")
