[TCP_Open] opens a low-level TCP/IP connection to a remote server.
This tag requires a -Name parameter which is the local name of the TCP/IP connection that needs to be passed to subsequent [TCP_Send] and [TCP_Close] tags.
The required -Host parameter specifies the IP address or host name of the server to which a connection should be opened. The optional -Port parameter specifies the port on the remote server that should be opened (defaults to the HTTP standard of 80).
The optional -TimeOut parameter specifies how many seconds Lasso should wait before giving up on a response from the remote server.
[TCP_Open: -Name='Connection Name',
-Host='Host Name']
[TCP_Open: -Name='Connection Name',
-Host='Host Name',
-Port=Port Number,
-TimeOut=TimeOut Seconds]
Use the [TCP_Open] tag. The following example opens a TCP/IP connection to the Web server named www.example.com with a timeout of 30 seconds.
[TCP_Open: -Name='Example',
-Host='www.example.com',
-Port=80,
-TimeOut=30]
