(C#) SSL Client Example

Demonstrates how to connect to an SSL server, send a simple message, receive a simple response, and disconnect.

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

bool ssl = true;
int maxWaitMillisec = 20000;

// The SSL server hostname may be an IP address, a domain name,
// or "localhost".  You'll need to change this:
string sslServerHost;
sslServerHost = "123.123.88.88";
int sslServerPort = 8123;

// Connect to the SSL server:
bool success = socket.Connect(sslServerHost,sslServerPort,ssl,maxWaitMillisec);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 20000;
socket.MaxSendIdleMs = 20000;

// Send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" message:
success = socket.SendString("Hello Server! -EOM-");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Client! -EOM-" 
// message.  Read it:
string receivedMsg = socket.ReceiveUntilMatch("-EOM-");
if (socket.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Close the connection with the server
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
success = socket.Close(20000);

Debug.WriteLine(receivedMsg);
