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.

    //  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 = CkSocketW_Connect(socket,L"example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);

    CkSocketW_putStringCharset(socket,L"utf-8");

    //  The socket is now connected and ready to send and receive data using whatever protocol the
    //  application implements.
    wprintf(L"Connected: %d\n",CkSocketW_getIsConnected(socket));

    //  Close the connection when finished.  The argument is the maximum time to wait for a clean
    //  shutdown, in milliseconds.
