Question

I’m trying to create a TCP connection and send/read data that uses SSL, but I haven’t been able to successfully accomplish this.

What I’d like to do is something like this:

    TcpClient _tcpClient = new TcpClient('host', 110);      BinaryReader reader =         new BinaryReader(new System.Net.Security.SslStream(_tcpClient.GetStream(), true));      Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString()); 

I haven’t had any luck with it though. An exception is thrown when creating the BinaryReader.

Does anyone know of a simple example that does this? I’m not interested in writing the server side of this, just the client.

Answer 1

BinaryReader reads primitive data types as binary values in a specific encoding, is that what your server sends?
If not use StreamReader:

TcpClient _tcpClient = new TcpClient('host', 110);  StreamReader reader =     new StreamReader(new System.Net.Security.SslStream(_tcpClient.GetStream(), true));  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
