Hello everyone, I have a random question. I am trying to create a mini-webserver (very simple) that excepts ssl requests in the .net 2.0 framework. I have been able to create a server that listens on a port (any portI specify) that will return an html page to the requesting browser. I have not been able to implement ssl into this. I know c# has classes that will help me with this but I am stumped. Has anyone done something similar to this before? I would really appreciate some help or a little guidance. I've looked at MSDN, but all they have for an example using sslStreams for a client/server module that I can't seem to get to work for a webserver. Thanks, Rookie.
thanks for the reply. I created the web server (very simplistic server) using a tcplistener and a socket. The listener listens on port 4444 and when a request comes in I takes the byte stream and convert it to a string then analyze the string and return the request page. I can't figure out how to implement ssl into the model. I should probably use sslStream but I don't know how to use it with sockets. thanks, Jon
This is complicated to do at a socket level. You will basically have to handle your own certificates and encryption. You should search around for components that'll help you with it. Joel Thoms DiscountASP.NET http://www.DiscountASP.NET
Let me recap to see if I understand you. You have a webserver that will listen for a request. Once you get that request you want to send the requestor an html page through an SSL connection. Let me know if I got that right? What webserver are you going to use IIS or Apache? Raymond DiscountASP.NET http://www.DiscountASP.NET
So I got frustrated with trying it in .net so I make it in java. Never thought I'd prefer using java to microsoft but it made it a lot easier. Thanks for the feedback, Rookie
