(DataFlex) SSL Server Example

Demonstrates how to create an SSL socket for accepting connections. This example is *very* simple in that it will create an SSL socket for accepting a single connection. It will read a message from the client, send a reply, and exit.

    // establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the

    // channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the 
    // MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0 
    // (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the 
    // AcceptNextConnection can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process.
