Re: Anyone got SSL over NSStreams to work?

In February of this year, I tried to use SSL over NSStream and ran into errors. I posted the following help request on the Cocoa list:

{ ...

    [NSStream getStreamsToHost:host

        port:port

        inputStream:&mInStream

        outputStream:&mOutStream];

    [mInStream retain];

    [mOutStream retain];

    

    [mInStream setDelegate:self];

    [mOutStream setDelegate:self];

    [mInStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] 

forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];

    [mOutStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] 

forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];

    

    assert([mInStream setProperty:NSStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL 

forKey:NSStreamSocketSecurityLevelKey]);

    assert([mOutStream 

setProperty:NSStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL 

forKey:NSStreamSocketSecurityLevelKey]);

    

    [mInStream open];

    [mOutStream open];

}

In my stream:handleEvent: delegate method,  I always get back an 

NSStreamEventErrorOccurred event with an NSUnknownErrorDomain (-9813) 

error.  It doesn't matter which SSL property I set the socket to. 

Always the same error. Turning off SSL on the output stream doesn't 

change things either. On the server side, the machine's log is 

indicating that an SSL connection is being made. I'm running this on 

Mac OS X 10.3.7

Has anyone gotten this stuff to work? A search of the Net shows very 

few mentions of using SSL with NSStreams, and there are unanswered 

NSStreams+SSL questions in the cocoa-dev archive. I sure hope someone 

could shed so light on what I may be missing.

(original message archive link is here: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/1/14/125681)

Time has gone by, I'm on 10.3.9 and 10.4.2 now, and today I gave it another try. It is still failing.

Also here, someone is asking a similar question:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.programmer.help/browse_thread/thread/6c3ad0dbe2ee39b0/9a1002ea0ebfc5bf?lnk=st&q=NSStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL&rnum=1&hl=en#9a1002ea0ebfc5bf

And he did not get an answer.

What's missing in both our cases?

Thanks,

/Jay
