I have a problem with a client which had set the protocoltype to none. In a strange way, it is still able to connect to the Server which has set the protocoltype to Ssl3. How is this possible? |

A connection of an SSL/non-SSL stream use the standard TCP protocol. It's only after the connection that SSL kicks in. So it's perfectly normal that you can connect to an SSL server; the server can only detect you're not using the SSL protocol after you sent it a few bytes. As soon as it realizes that, it will close the connection. |
