Greetings.

The SecureSocket library documentation states that Select is unsupported. I'd like to know why. It seems like you could just select on the internal Socket. I can imagine SSL having some overhead that would result in packets being sent that don't actually contain "real" data. So would this just cause some false positives in Select? This seems managable.

And is there any way I can use Socket.Select() without modifying the library? I'd rather not modify the library so I can still upgrade to new versions easily.

Thank you kindly,
Michael

We do not support select because otherwise user code could interfere with the security library. We've considered supporting it, but ensuring that the method would always work flawlessly was a nontrivial task and we finally decided to drop support for select.
