(PHP ActiveX) SSL Server Example

Demonstrates how to create an SSL socket for accepting connections. This example is *very* simple in that it will create an SSL socket for accepting a single connection. It will read a message from the client, send a reply, and exit.

<?php

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Socket')
$listenSslSocket = new COM("Chilkat.Socket");

// An SSL server needs a digital certificate.  This example loads it from a PFX file.

// Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
// locate the certificate we need, and use it.
// (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.CertStore')
$certStore = new COM("Chilkat.CertStore");
// The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
// PFX file's password:
$success = $certStore->LoadPfxFile('chilkat.pfx','test');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $certStore->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Find the certificate to be used for SSL:

// cert is a Chilkat.Cert
$cert = $certStore->FindCertBySubject('Chilkat Software, Inc.');
if ($certStore->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $certStore->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Use the certificate:
$success = $listenSslSocket->InitSslServer($cert);
if ($success != 1) {

    print $listenSslSocket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Bind and listen on a port:
$myPort = 8123;
// Allow for a max of 5 queued connect requests.
$backLog = 5;
$success = $listenSslSocket->BindAndListen($myPort,$backLog);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $listenSslSocket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection
// establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the 
// client and server to establish algorithms and a shared key to create the secure 
// channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the 
// MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0 
// (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the 
// AcceptNextConnection can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process. 
// Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNextConnection.

// Set a 10 second max for waiting to read/write.  This is for the SSL/TLS handshake establishment.
$listenSslSocket->MaxReadIdleMs = 10000;
$listenSslSocket->MaxSendIdleMs = 10000;

// Accept a single client connection and establish the secure SSL/TLS channel:

$maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
// clientSock is a Chilkat.Socket
$clientSock = $listenSslSocket->AcceptNextConnection($maxWaitMillisec);
if ($listenSslSocket->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $listenSslSocket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The client (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" 
// message.  Read it:
$receivedMsg = $clientSock->receiveUntilMatch('-EOM-');
if ($clientSock->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $clientSock->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print $receivedMsg . "\n";

// Send a "Hello Client! -EOM-" message:
$success = $clientSock->SendString('Hello Client! -EOM-');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $clientSock->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Close the connection with the client
// Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
$success = $clientSock->Close(20000);
