But "CFReadStreamRead" fails to read any data and throws up an error
which when logged gives "-9812" which means "errUnknownRootCert" as
seen in the "SecureTransport.h" header file.
This pretty much means what it says: the root cert of the cert chain
advertised by the server isn't in Mac OS X's list of trusted root
certs. You can either:
1. Give your server a proper cert.
2. Add the cert to your list of trusted root certs (you can do this
using Keychain Access to add it to
/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors).
3. Disable this check by setting kCFStreamSSLAllowsAnyRoot on the stream.
Of these, only option 1 is a good solution if you plan to deploy your
program to a wide user base.
