I have console applicaiotn that currently uses CAsyncSocket.
I need to implement SSL so after some searching I found this project: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3915/CAsyncSslSocketLayer-SSL-layer-class-for-CAsyncSoc
For some reason same simple code that works fine on GUI code does not work in console app.
Has anyone exp. with CAsyncSslSocketLayer ?
Thanks.
CAsyncSocketEx uses a window as a sort of cheap thread to handle the event notifications that come from select(). Unfortunately, if you don’t have a message loop, then the window which it creates will not receive these events.

This article explains that a call to CreateWindow() needs to be called from a thread which has a message loop. And if you don’t, then anything sent via PostMessage() won’t get there.
I’ve recently started to tinker with this — I want to remove the annoying hidden window and replace it with a normal thread. Their code relies on WSAAsyncSelect() in order to receive socket events… to a window. Yuk!
