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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Socket')
loSocket = CreateObject('Chilkat.Socket')

* Connect to a server.
lnUseTls = 1
lnMaxWaitMs = 2000
lnSuccess = loSocket.Connect("www.intel.com",443,lnUseTls,lnMaxWaitMs)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSocket
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* If we get here, the TLS connection ws made..
* In any SSL/TLS handshake, the server sends its certificate in a TLS handshake message.
* Chilkat will keep it cached within the object that made the connection.
* Get the server's cert and examine a few things.
loCert = loSocket.GetSslServerCert()
IF (loSocket.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    * This is unexpected..
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSocket
    CANCEL
