[asio-users] boost::asio::ssl creating a ssl wrapper around an already established tcp socket

[Daniel M. <im...@im...>]

Hi,
I'm working a bit with boost::asio and i'm trying to get a ssl wrapper 
around an already established tcp socket (which is 
boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket).
Appearently from the documentation and the example on the website, i 
have to create the ssl wrapper with a template socket 
boost::asio::ssl::stream<mystreamsockettype>.
But then i would have to build a tcp connection on the lowest layer of 
that stream.
Isn't it possible to create a wrapper on an already working tcp socket?

Code Example:
using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

boost::asio::io_service io_service;
boost::asio::error error;
tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);
tcp::resolver::query query("myhost", "myserv");
tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator, end;
tcp::socket socket(io_service);

endpoint_iterator = resolver.resolve(query);
error             = boost::asio::error::host_not_found;

while (error && endpoint_iterator != end) {
     socket.close();
     socket.connect(*endpoint_iterator++, boost::asio::assign_error(error));
}

if (error)
     throw error;


// do io operations on my tcp socket


using boost::asio::ssl;
ssl::context ctx(io_service, ssl::context::tlsv1);
// create my ssl wrapper here

Thanks in advance
