Secure sockets with Adobe AIR 2.0
During my journey of discovering the goodness of AIR 2.0 I wanted to try the new secure sockets functionality. AIR 2 comes with a new class, SecureSocket, which actually extends the standard Socket class. The easiest way for me to test it was to try to connect to GMail’s IMAP server. I was actually inspired by very cool example built by Christian Cantrell called MenuMail available here to download from Adobe Labs. I think the code below is self explaining; when you click Connect button you should see following trace output in the console:
onConnect [Event type="connect" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
onSocketData [ProgressEvent type="socketData" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 bytesLoaded=66 bytesTotal=0]
* OK Gimap ready for requests from x.x.x.x n12if410166gve.29

Finally, an issue that I’m passionate about. I have seemed for info of this caliber for the last a number of hours. Your web site is enormously appreciated.
