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

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

bool ssl = true;

// The SSL server hostname may be an IP address, a domain name,
// or "localhost". 
string sslServerHost;
sslServerHost = "www.paypal.com";
int sslServerPort = 443;

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

// Close the connection with the server
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
