[Mono-devel-list] SSLClientStream for FTPS - A message could not be decoded because some field was out of the specified range or the length of the message was incorrect.

[Martin Hinks]

Hi all,

I am currently writing the FX2.0 class System.Net.FtpWebRequest, which
features the EnableSSL Property. To implement this I am using an
SSLClientStream as follows for FTPS:

CertificateCollection certificates;
Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.SslClientStream SSL;
Stream net;

//Negotiate TLS

//Load a cert just to test
System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate cert =
System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile("/home/w-h/Desktop/test.crt");

certificates.Add(cert);

//Local connect so have used hardcoded "127.0.0.1" until I can get this to work
//At this point net is a NetworkStream using my control connection socket
SSL = new Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.SslClientStream(net, "127.0.0.1",
false, Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.SecurityProtocolType.Tls,
certificates);

//Validation callback that always returns TRUE
SSL.ServerCertValidationDelegate = new
Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.CertificateValidationCallback(CertificateValidator);

net = SSL;

//start the negotiation
//.SendCommand just uses net to send the data

this.SendCommand("PBSZ 0");

This gives the following output:

---------------------

This error is being thrown inside RecordProtocol.cs - in the
this.ReadRecordBuffer call.

Does anyone have any ideas?
