Question

When i am try to read from SslStream function Read() is never end if i am not set connection timeout but if i do i’ve got timeout exception. This guy have the same problem http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.security.sslstream.read.aspx. I don’t what to do here the code

    public byte[] ReadBytes()
    {
        this.bufferGlobal.Clear();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[this.bufferSize];
        int recv = this.stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        while (recv != 0)
        {
            addBytes(buffer, ref bufferGlobal, recv);
            recv = this.stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);                
        }
        return (byte[])this.bufferGlobal.ToArray(typeof(byte));
    }

Thx in advance.

UPD:

i think i find the answer. I can set read timeout on SslStream equal one, thats value does not make sense for socket alive (its mean you can download huge files and don’t worry about SslStream he wouldn’t close connection or interupt recieve data). I just testing this solution but seems works fine. Thx everybody.

Answer 1

You are reading from a network stream, which means you will not encounter the end of stream until the other side closes its half of the connection. It isn’t enough for it to stop sending data. So, make your other program close the connection after it has sent all data it intends to.
