Project Description:

Hi,

I need someone to build a small C (or C++) script thats connects to a SSL server and that can write to, and receive data (server response) from the server. The connection is made with a standard socket connection.

I've got an client example developed in C, but that one can't connect to a SSL server. There are two possibilities:

1 - add SSL feature in existing C script or
2 - build a new one in C++

We want to keep option 2 because creating a ssl socket client in C++ is probably easier than in C!

note: there is no SSL validation required from client to server, it's a simple conversion from connecting to a non ssl server to a ssl server.

I totally forgot to mention: the client has to connect to a EPP server on port 700 (https://www.centralnic.com/registrars/epp), a system for domain name registration. Default functions in the C script/program are:

- connecting to the epp server
- write data (xml strings) to the server
- receive data (xml, but parsing elements not required)
- disconnecting the socket/server

It works just like a normal socket connection with SMTP servers (you can also telnet to it)

C Programming, C++ Programming, Linux, Shell Script
