9.4.1.11 pre-release, IPv6 Accept Connection fix
Fixed IPV6 accept connection problem.
SoSndBuf and SoRcvBuf Properties
Beginning with Chilkat v9.4.0, two new TCP socket performance properties, SoSndBuf and SoRcvBuf, will be added to each of the following Chilkat components/libs: FTP2, HTTP, SFTP, SSH, SshTunnel, IMAP, and MailMan (POP3/SMTP). These properties allow for the underlying socket’s send and receive buffer sizes to be set. These are socket options associated with the setsockopt system call (see http://linux.die.net/man/2/setsockopt ) […]
Socket Programming – “Must-Know” Concepts
If you’re just starting to program with TCP connected sockets using the Chilkat Socket API, then these concepts should be understood before beginning. 1. Receiving Data from a Connected Socket. The ReceiveBytes and ReceiveString methods will return whatever data has already arrived and is available on the connected socket. It is not guaranteed to return the complete amount of data […]
Socket “Not ready for writing” when trying to Connect?
Question: Can you tell from this log why it would say “socket is not ready for writing”? OpenSmtpConnection: DllDate: Jun 9 2009 UnlockPrefix: **** Username: Administrator Component: ActiveX Need new SMTP connection SMTP_Connect: Connecting to SMTP server mail.****.com:25 smtp_host: mail.****.com smtp_port: 25 domain: mail.****.com smtp_user: **** socket is not ready for writing Connect function failed.

Socket SendString (C++) w/ TCHAR
Question: I need to send a unicode string (e.g TCHAR *ptr) but the API only allows to send char. Answer: /* The _TCHAR data type is defined conditionally in Tchar.h. If the symbol _UNICODE is defined for your build, _TCHAR is defined as wchar_t; otherwise, for single-byte and MBCS builds, it is defined as char. */ bool sendString(CkSocket &sock, TCHAR […]
Socket Error: WSAEWOULDBLOCK
NOTE: If this error occurred while trying to establish an FTP data connection, also see this: https://cknotes.com/?p=282 A WSAEWOULDBLOCK error when trying to establish a TCP/IP socket connection indicates one of the following conditions: A firewall at either the client or server side is blocking the connection. There is no server listening at the remote host:port to accept the connection […]
Asynchronous Sockets
This blog post is an attempt to explain the concepts of asynchronous socket programming using the Chilkat Socket class/component. There are five types of socket operations that may occur asynchronously: Socket read. Socket write. Connect to remote hostname:port Accept connection from client DNS lookup A synchronous socket operation is easy to understand. If you call ReceiveBytes, the method returns only […]
WSAECONNABORTED An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
Question: Do you have any suggestions on this error? I have all the service packs installed for server 2003. Do I need to send shorter strings? I don’t seem to have any issues with small messages.
