QueryBinary method
Syntax: Reply = QueryBinary ( Query
)
| Part |
Type |
Description |
| Reply |
Variant (byte array) |
Response from the remote host. If an error occurs, this will be an empty
array. |
| Query |
Variant (string or byte array) |
Query to send to the remote host. |
This method performs a simple TCP query with binary data.
When called, the QueryBinary method opens a TCP connection to the
remote host and port specified by the RemoteAddr
and RemotePort properties, respectively. QueryBinary
then sends Query, stores the response in Reply, and closes the
connection.
If the total time for the QueryBinary call exceeds Timeout or encounters another error, QueryBinary
will return an empty array. Check the Error
property for an error code.
If you pass a string in as Query, QueryBinary will internally
convert the string from Unicode to ANSI before sending it to the remote host. If Query
is a byte array, QueryBinary will send it verbatim. In either case, QueryBinary
returns the remote host's exact response as a byte array--no processing is done on the
data.
