Hi,
I have issue communicating with SSL sites. I would like to receive data from a SSL (HTTPS) site. I am using Socket class in C# my code is similar to the code below. As you seen there are no indication of how to behave with a SSL request.
class MyClient
{
public static void MyGet(string sHost, int iPort)
{
IPHostEntry IPHost = Dns.Resolve(sHost);
Console.WriteLine(IPHost.HostName);
IPAddress[] addr = IPHost.AddressList;
Console.WriteLine(addr[0]);
EndPoint ep = new IPEndPoint(addr[0], iPort);
Socket sock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
sock.Connect(ep);
if (sock.Connected)
Console.WriteLine("OK");
Encoding ASCII = Encoding.ASCII;
string Get = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: " + sHost + ":" + iPort + "\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n";
Byte[] ByteGet = ASCII.GetBytes(Get);
Byte[] RecvBytes = new Byte[256];
sock.Send(ByteGet, ByteGet.Length, 0);
Int32 bytes = sock.Receive(RecvBytes, RecvBytes.Length, 0);
Console.WriteLine(bytes);
String strRetPage = null;
strRetPage = strRetPage + ASCII.GetString(RecvBytes, 0, bytes);
while (bytes > 0)
{
bytes = sock.Receive(RecvBytes, RecvBytes.Length, 0);
strRetPage = strRetPage + ASCII.GetString(RecvBytes, 0, bytes);
Console.WriteLine(strRetPage);
}
sock.ShutDown(SocketShutdown.Both);
sock.Close();
}
}
Thanks

You can't use just sockets to get to SSL sites.
Sockets is just a connection and data send receive
SSL is on top of sockets.
HTTP is on top of SSL.
As such,
1) You should HTTPWebRequest.
2) You can use SSLStream class that works on top of sockets but then
You need to implement http yourself which I don't recommend

Oh ok!
1. It looks like SSLStream is a 3rd party object, it is not build in .NET
2. Why should I not implement http
3. Are you recomending HTTPWebRequest becuase it is hiding these from us What is the down side of the HTTPWebRequest
Thanks

SSL Stream is part of the .NEt 2.0
Check it out. It can save you months of work. No kidding.
TcpClient will not help

Thank you for your suggestions, but what is the downside of the HttpWebRequest It looks like there is a performance issue, when I compare it with Socket. We don’t have few months.

How about the TCPCleint Class can it help me with this task
