I am trying to use the sample WebClient application to connect and download data from a HP OPenVMS environment with SSL. The client works fine with all of my Windows servers but when trying to download data from the HP server I get the initial connection but then when the request is sent I receive a message stating the connection has been closed. I am not a socket expert but this seems as though it should work. I have downloaded a couple of HTTP file download freeware tools and they work successfully with the HP Server so I have to believe it's something in the .Net framework.

The credentials I am sending are correct since the freeware tools work. Can someone give me an idea what to look for?

I don't want to give my user id and connection in the forum but if you would like to reproduce to the problem please send me an e-mail and I will give you the connection information.

Thanks...

It's possible that the security library and the server you're connecting to do not share a common cipher suite.

Keep in mind that the security library only supports the RSA suites, so if your server requires a Diffie-Hellman suite, the seclib and the server will not be able to communicate.
