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.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Long
bTls = 1
Dim maxWaitMs As Long
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

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

Debug.Print "Duplicate socket wrapper created."
