SSL shouldn't be this difficult
Hello,
First off, SSL is NOT really difficult... it is that I am just frustrated with the "service provider" that I have to connect to. They are of no help what so ever when it comes to trying to help me figure out what is going on with the SSL connection.
OK, all the service provider has "provided" me is their address and port to connect to... which is for example https://xxx.yyy.zzz 5000
They say that I need to connect into this server on this port in order to send and receive secure messages... So with that I put this little test program together...

SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3");
KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
String ksName = "test.keystore";
char ksPass[] = "password".toCharArray();
char ctPass[] = "password".toCharArray();
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
ks.load(new FileInputStream(ksName), ksPass);
// Generating KeyManager list
kmf.init(ks,ctPass);
KeyManager[] kmList = kmf.getKeyManagers();
// Generating SSLSocketFactory
sc.init(kmList, null, null);
SSLSocketFactory sf = sc.getSocketFactory();
// Generating SSLSocket
s = (SSLSocket)sf.createSocket("ssltest.tnsi.com", 5004);
s.startHandshake();
InputStream inputstream = s.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader inputstreamreader = new InputStreamReader(inputstream);
BufferedReader bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(inputstreamreader);
OutputStream outputstream = s.getOutputStream();
OutputStreamWriter outputstreamwriter = new OutputStreamWriter(outputstream);

char[] message = {0x48, 0x45, 0x4C, 0x4C, 0x4F};
bufferedwriter.write(message, 0, message.length);
bufferedwriter.newLine();
bufferedwriter.flush();

while ((x = bufferedreader.read()) != -1)
{
System.out.println(x);
}

System.err.println(e.toString());

I have created a keystore with my client key pair in it.
When I run the program I receive no errors or exceptions. All I receive is 5 ENQs and then the program exits...
My question is, since I have not received an exception, can I assume that I have actually connected to the server? They will not tell me if I have connected or not...
Thanks...
