I am using the Mentalis library to set up a secure connection for getting email messages.


I Declare the following variables in the constructor;
private Org.Mentalis.Security.Ssl.SecureTcpClient m_SecureServer;
private Org.Mentalis.Security.Ssl.SecureNetworkStream m_SecureNetStream;
private StreamReader m_csrReadStream;

I call a connect method to connect to the server:
string m_sServerName = "hulk";
int m_iPortNumber = 995;

m_SecureServer = new Org.Mentalis.Security.Ssl.SecureTcpClient (m_sServerName, m_iPortNumber);

m_SecureServer.ReceiveTimeout = 50000;
m_SecureNetStream = m_SecureServer.GetStream ();
m_csrReadStream = new StreamReader (m_SecureServer.GetStream ());


When i execute the following line in a method called read_single_line_response,

string sData;
sData = m_csrReadStream.ReadLine ();

I Get the following IO Exception:

System.IO.IOException: An I/O exception occurred. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: 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

I allow the user to toggle on and off SSL connection. When they have it turned off and i use the NetworkStream and TCPClient from the standard library, I use a nearly exact sub-routine and it works great on a non-SSL port. Is there anything that you can suggest as to why the SSL Connection is throwing the error from the above stack trace when i use the Mentalis library?

Thanks, Mike
