How to use SSL secure sockets

The following example code demonstrates how to use secure sockets.

• Open a socket using RSocket::Open() and connect it with RSocket::Connect().

• Create a secure socket by calling CSecureSocket::NewL(), passing the socket and secure protocol name.

  In the following example iSocket is a reference to the already opened and connected socket and KSSLProtocol is the descriptor containing the name of a protocol, in this case TLS1.0. The function should return a pointer to the newly created CSecureSocket.

• Initiate a handshake with the remote server, using the CSecureSocket::StartClientHandshake() function, to start the application acting as a client. Use CSecureSocket::StartServerHandshake() to start acting as a server.

  If the handshake fails, the call completes with an error code.

            ...

   // Connect the socket server
            User::LeaveIfError(iSocketServ.Connect());
            // Open the socket
         User::LeaveIfError(iSocket.Open(iSocketServ, KAfInet, KSockStream, KProtocolInetTcp)); 
            //Connect the socket
            connectInetAddr.SetAddress(KTestAddress);
            connectInetAddr.SetPort(KSSLPort);  //TLS port

            iSocket.Connect(connectInetAddr, iStatus); 

            ...

    
            // Construct the Tls socket
            iTlsSocket = CSecureSocket::NewL(iSocket, KSSLProtocol());

    // start the handshake 
           iTlsSocket->StartClientHandshake(iStatus);
            

Use CSecureSocket::Recv() and CSecureSocket::RecvOneOrMore() to receive data from the socket.

Use CSecureSocket::Send() to send data over the socket.
