is there in C# SSL WebSocket Client that is .net 4

Question

I was wondering if there is anything on this subject at the moment: I have found various examples EG: the 4.5 system.net.websockets.websocket for ssl (wss://) clients in c# and I was wondering if there were any reliable ssl versions out there since this similar question was answered.

But I am developing in Visual c# 2010, a winforms C# client application that has to receive server pushes, but it's Windows 7 so I can't us net 4.5 . (Note: the emphasis on the client)

If anyone has any actual code for SSL (hopefully one that doesn't necessarily enforce the certificate authentication prompt) I would appreciate it - I prefer code samples - but I'll take a namespace solution.

Thanks in advance:-)

I think this might work for you: http://websocket4net.codeplex.com

Answer 2

So you can use .NET 4.5 in Windows 7, you just need to download the right version (on msdn.com it has the dl for Win 8) of Visual Studio.

Answer 3

Websocket4net is working with SSL, we are developing a system with Jetty/websocket on server side. This is a sample snippet with authentication:

webSocket = new WebSocket("wss://host:8443/", "echo", null,
new List < KeyValuePair < string, string >> () {
    new KeyValuePair < string, string > ("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=")
}, "", WebSocketVersion.Rfc6455);
webSocket.EnableAutoSendPing = true;
webSocket.AllowUnstrustedCertificate = true;

The question is very old, but this answer helps others...
