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 fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set socket = CreateObject("Chilkat.Socket")

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
bTls = 1
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
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.
set dupSock = CreateObject("Chilkat.Socket")
success = socket.DupSocket(dupSock)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine("Duplicate socket wrapper created.")

outFile.Close
