SSL Server Example

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

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

    ;  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 
    ;  AcceptNext can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process.
