Im trying to create my own HTTPS proxy Server. For some reason, i got an exception when I try to read from sslstream object. Here is it:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in System.dll
Additional information: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Here is my code:
public Server()
{
m_portnumber = 4434;
m_tcplistener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, m_portnumber);
m_cert = createCertificate();
}
public void start()
{
m_tcplistener.Start();
while (true)
{
TcpClient client = m_tcplistener.AcceptTcpClient();
ClientHandler(client);
}
}
private void ClientHandler(TcpClient client)
{
// A client has connected. Create the
// SslStream using the client's network stream.
SslStream sslStream = new SslStream(
client.GetStream(), false);
// Authenticate the server but don't require the client to authenticate.
try
{
sslStream.AuthenticateAsServer(m_cert,
false, SslProtocols.Tls, true);
// Display the properties and settings for the authenticated stream.

// Set timeouts for the read and write to 5 seconds.
sslStream.ReadTimeout = 5000;

sslStream.Close();
client.Close();
return;

// because we specified this behavior when creating
// the sslStream.
