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.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Integer = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  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 = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine("Reverted to a plain TCP connection.")
