connecting using SSL with C#

[Jaime Stuardo]

Hi all....

I used IPEndPoint and Socket class of System.Net namespace in order to send
a request to a webpage. I opened 443 port in order to establish a HTTPS
connection, but it didn't seem to work.

How can I do it? do I have to install some C# component to enable SSL?

Thanks a lot in advance
Jaime

Why don't you use System.Net.HttpWebRequest? Or at least
System.Net.WebClient?

Check out

http://www.mentalis.org/

they have an SSL implementation in c#. It's free (last time i used it)
and it worked as well! You can just replace your existing TCPClient with
SecureTCPClient (and add a few extra things) and it works. There is no
'standard' implementation that ships with .NET 1.1 to my knowledge

There is a secure socket in .Net 2.0 IIRC.

You can also use:
http://www.indyproject.org/

It includes SSL support for .NET by using a Mono assembly with MS .NET.
