Demonstrates how to call the DupSocket method. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket
success = socket.Connect("example.com",443,1,5000)

' ...
' ...

' Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
' In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

' - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
' - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
' - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

Dim socket_for_sending As New ChilkatSocket
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_sending)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim socket_for_monitor As New ChilkatSocket
success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_monitor)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
