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

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

Dim ssl As Boolean
ssl = True
Dim maxWaitMillisec As Int32
maxWaitMillisec = 20000

// The SSL server hostname may be an IP address, a domain name,
// or "localhost".  You'll need to change this:
Dim sslServerHost As String
sslServerHost = "123.123.88.88"
Dim sslServerPort As Int32
sslServerPort = 8123

// Connect to the SSL server:
Dim success As Boolean
success = socket.Connect(sslServerHost,sslServerPort,ssl,maxWaitMillisec)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Set maximum timeouts for reading an writing (in millisec)
socket.MaxReadIdleMs = 20000
socket.MaxSendIdleMs = 20000

// Send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" message:
success = socket.SendString("Hello Server! -EOM-")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Client! -EOM-" 
// message.  Read it:
Dim receivedMsg As String
receivedMsg = socket.ReceiveUntilMatch("-EOM-")
If (socket.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

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

System.DebugLog(receivedMsg)
