Web TCP/IP Functions

Silk Performer provides functions for testing applications that use the Web TCP/IP protocol.

WebTcpipAccept Function
Listens for a connection to be established to a listener socket and accepts the connection.
WebTcpipConnect Function
Connects to any host on the Internet or intranet. sHost can be the domain name or the IP address.
WebTcpipGetOptions Function
Retrieves a TCP/IP connection’s specific options.
WebTcpipGetPacketBoundary Function
Returns a packet boundary for an existing connection.
WebTcpipListen Function
Creates a listener socket on a specified port and returns a handle to that socket.
WebTcpipRecv Function
Retrieves data from the remote host.
WebTcpipRecvExact Function
Receives an exact number of data bytes from a remote host unless an error occurs or the connection is closed by the server.
WebTcpipRecvClose Function
Retrieves data from the remote host until the connection is closed by the server.
WebTcpipRecvPackets Function
Receives individual or multiple in-coming packets from an open connection.
WebTcpipRecvPacketsUntilData Function
Receives data from Telnet server until a packet with specified data arrives.
WebTcpipRecvProto Function
Retrieves a calculated amount of data from the remote host.
WebTcpipRecvUntil Function
Retrieves a response from the remote host until the pattern sPattern is found.
WebTcpipRecvProtoEx Function
Like the WebTcpipRecvProto function, but with the additional possibility to verify a fixed portion of the tcp packet (by specifying its starting position and length), and two additional parameters to define the performed packet-length calculation (multiplication and addition).
WebTcpipRecvUntilIdle Function
Receives data from a connection until the connection remains idle for a specified period of time.
WebTcpipScreenRecvPacketsUntilCursor Function
Receives packets from a Telnet server until cursor is detected at a specified position.
WebTcpipScreenRecvPacketsUntilField Function
Receives data from a given connection until the rendered screen contains a specified field.
WebTcpipScreenRecvPacketsUntilStatus Function
Receives data from a given connection until rendered screen signals a specified status.
WebTcpipScreenRecvPacketsUntilText Function
Receives data from a given connection until rendered screen contains specified text.
WebTcpipSelect Function
Checks if a subsequent WebTcpipRecv operation on the provided connection handle will block, or succeed immediately.
WebTcpipSend Function
Sends a string to the remote host. Before WebTcpipSend can be used, a valid connection has to be established with WebTcpipConnect.
WebTcpipSendFile Function
Sends the data of a file in binary mode to the remote host.
WebTcpipSendBin Function
Sends a string/buffer containing binary data to the remote host.
WebTcpipSendPacket Function
Sends a single out-going packet to an open connection.
WebTcpipSetOptions Function
Sets a TCP/IP connection’s specific options.
WebTcpipSetPacketBoundary Function
Sets a packet boundary for an existing connection and is used to split in-coming and out-going data when using WebTcpipRecvPackets and WebTcpipSendPacket functions.
WebTcpipSetTelnetMode Function
Switches pure TCP/IP connection mode to Telnet connection mode.
WebTcpipShutdown Function
Shuts down the connection established by WebTcpipConnect.
WebTcpipSSLHandshake Function
Performs a secure handshake on an open connection.
