Anyone got SSL over NSStreams to work?

• Jay Koutavas Anyone got SSL over NSStreams to work? Jan 14 2005, 04:45
  Hi. I'm doing the following in an attempt to establish an SSL
  connection over NSStreams, per the NSStream documentation:
  
  { ...
  [NSStream getStreamsToHost:@"blah.blah.com"
    port:1234
    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 (-9812)
  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.

  You're passing a NSString instead of the required NSHost to
  getStreamsToHost:port:inputStream:outputStream: .
  
  Go to
  http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Streams/
  index.html, see "Setting Up Socket Streams," and take a look at Listing
  1 there. It will show you exactly what to do.

  That's just my example text. In my real code I have host there. I
  over simplified the code for the example.
  
  Have you gotten SSL to work using NSStreams?
