(PowerBuilder) 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.

// If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection
// establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the 
// client and server to establish algorithms and a shared key to create the secure 
// 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. 
// Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNextConnection.

// Set a 10 second max for waiting to read/write.  This is for the SSL/TLS handshake establishment.

// message.  Read it:
