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

Dim sock As New Chilkat.Socket

// This example uses the public TCP echo service at https://tcpbin.com/

// Pass zero's in the 2nd and 3rd arguments to send the entire contents of the BinData.

// The tcpbin.com echo server only echoes after receiving an LF (linefeed char)
success = sock.SendByte(10)

// The echo server will echo back whatever is sent to it.
// We should be able to read the same bytes back..

// Show the contents of bdRecv in hex format
System.DebugLog(bdRecv.GetEncoded("hex"))
