Close a Socket Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

set socket [new_CkSocket]

#  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.
set bTls 1
set maxWaitMs 5000
set success [CkSocket_Connect $socket "example.com" 5000 $bTls $maxWaitMs]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkSocket_lastErrorText $socket]
    delete_CkSocket $socket
    exit
}

#  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
CkSocket_put_StringCharset $socket "utf-8"

#  Gracefully close the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection.  The argument is the maximum
#  number of milliseconds to wait for clean shutdown processing (0 waits indefinitely).
set success [CkSocket_Close $socket 1000]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkSocket_lastErrorText $socket]
    delete_CkSocket $socket
    exit
}

puts "Connection closed."
