[plt-scheme] Re: ssl/tls connections

Hi,
i'm a french IT student, so i don't know if my code will help you
anyway.
I didn't go far enough to implement secure negotiation but i managed
to read from port directly with read-string.

; recupServer: port -> string
; return the "first" block not null
(define (recupServer->me port)
    (let loop ()
      (let ([available (peek-string TAILLEBLOCK 0 port)])
        (if (null? available)
            (loop)
            (read-string TAILLEBLOCK port)))))
