Vista - Re: Reading a NetworkStream

Peter Bradley <p.bradley@xxxxxx> wrote:Is there a public server we can easily contact to try this out?

Note that in RFC 4934 I can't see anything suggesting it will be in
ASCII - just that it's XML. Might it be UTF-16 encoding?

Using BitConverter directly is definitely a bad idea - the RFC says it
will be in big endian format. I have an EndianBitConverter which lets
you specify endianness as part of MiscUtil:

But yes, that number looks rather large.

I'll try to get the certificate to you tonight (say in about 9 or 10 hours).

I'm sure it's my stream reading code that's up the spout. This is the
first time I've written code like this. Usually I'm doing business
rules or Active Directory coding in .NET remote objects or Web services.
So I may well be making some really elementary mistakes.

Cheers

I had an epiphany moment. I think I know what the problem is. I'm
reading the response from the server using the NetworkStream associated
with the TcpClient. That's fine, except that this is a secure stream
using SSL, so what I'm looking at is the encrypted data. What I need to
do is to create an SslStream from the Network stream and then read from
that:


// Read the response from the server
int bytesRead = sslStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

// Convert the received bytes into a string

string response = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString (buffer,
0,
bytes);

OK, so I still have the business of the first 4 bytes to sort out, but
if I'm right on this, that shouldn't be much of a problem.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Right, yes.
My EndianBitConverter in MiscUtil may well help there.

Sure.
No problem - sorry I couldn't directly actually contribute to speeding
up the solution.
