Revert a TLS Connection to Plain TCP

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ConvertFromSsl, which ends the TLS layer while leaving the underlying TCP connection open for subsequent unencrypted communication.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$socket = New-Object Chilkat.Socket

#  Connect to the server using TLS.
$bTls = $true
$maxWaitMs = 5000
$success = $socket.Connect("example.com",5000,$bTls,$maxWaitMs)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  End the TLS layer while keeping the underlying TCP connection open for subsequent unencrypted
#  communication.  This is the reverse of a STARTTLS-style upgrade and is valid only while TLS is
#  active.
$success = $socket.ConvertFromSsl()
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
