SocketClient Sample

  • Article

This sample demonstrates the following:

  • Creating a socket and using it to issue a request to retrieve an HTML page for a web site. The source tagging for the HTML page is displayed in the debugger’s Output window.
  • Creating a socket that connects to a URL and port.
  • Converting a string to a UTF-8 byte array so that the bytes can be sent over the socket.
  • Reading data over the socket in chunks to build up the entire HTML page.
  • Safely stopping waiting for data if the server is taking too long to respond.
