Creating a TCP Client Connection with SSL

Question

I\'m trying to create a TCP connection and send/read data that uses SSL, but I haven\'t been able to successfully accomplish this.

What I\'d like to do is something

Answer 1

BinaryReader reads primitive data types as binary values in a specific encoding, is that what your server sends?
If not use StreamReader:

TcpClient _tcpClient = new TcpClient("host", 110);

StreamReader reader = 
   new StreamReader(new System.Net.Security.SslStream(_tcpClient.GetStream(), true));

Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());

Answer 2

I'm not entirely sure if this will work for your application but I would recommend taking a look at stunnel:
http://www.stunnel.org

I've used it for wrapping existing TCP connections in the past.
