SSL Server Example

Demonstrates how to create an SSL socket for accepting connections. This example is *very* simple in that it will create an SSL socket for accepting a single connection. It will read a message from the client, send a reply, and exit.

    //  If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection
    //  establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the
    //  client and server to establish algorithms and a shared key to create the secure
    //  channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the
    //  MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0
    //  (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the
    //  AcceptNextConnection can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process.
    //  Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNextConnection.

    //  Set a 10 second max for waiting to read/write.  This is for the SSL/TLS handshake establishment.

    //  The client (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Server! -EOM-"
    //  message.  Read it:
