Writing a Server Program That Uses RWSecureSocketPortal

SourcePro : Secure Communication Module User’s Guide : PART II Secure Sockets Package : Using Secure Sockets : Getting Started with Secure Sockets : Writing a Server Program That Uses RWSecureSocketPortal

Example 4 is a server program that uses a portal to create a secure socket that waits for requests. Comments are included only for code that is different than Example 3.

This example uses utility functions provided in args.h.

//1 Initialize Windows Sockets library (does nothing on UNIX).

//2 Initialize the Secure Sockets package.

//3 Create a context instance to hold information related to the SSL connection.

//4 Load the server's certificate.

//5 Load the server's private key.

//6 Associate the certificate and private key with the context.

//7 Create an address instance which will be where the server listens for connections.

//8 Create the listener instance passing the address to bind to and the context which contains the SSL connection information.

//9 The function call operator (operator()) on a listener blocks and waits for a connection to arrive. Upon connection a portal to the newly created socket is returned.

//10 Use the new portal. In this case we call recv() waiting for the client to send some data.

//11 The data sent by the client is printed to standard output.
