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

loSocket = createobject("CkSocket")

// Connect to a server.
llUseTls = .T.
lnMaxWaitMs = 2000
llSuccess = loSocket.Connect("www.intel.com",443,llUseTls,lnMaxWaitMs)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    release loSocket
    return
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 = .F.) then
    // This is unexpected..
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    release loSocket
