WebTelnetSyncData Function

Action

Notes binary data like VT100 escape sequences to be verified as received on next sending operation in a Telnet connection. This asynchronous function helps building more robust scripts because some Telnet servers mix Telnet command sequences with regular output data. The received data itself will be prepended to data in the order it was received in the next subsequently received function call.

Syntax

WebTelnetSyncData(    in hWeb  : number,
                      in sData : string ) : boolean;

Return value

true if the operation was successful
false otherwise

Parameter	Description
hWeb	Valid handle to a Web connection created by WebTcpipConnect and set to Telnet mode using WebTcpipSetTelnetMode. The connection must be in “Sync-Mode” (set option TELNET_MODEOPT_SYNC).
sData	Binary data string expected from the server.
