Hi,,

I'm building an SSL client/server application (in separate projects), and i'm trying to send a digital certificate from the client to the server using SendString() method, but the problem is that the certificate i'm trying to send is of type "CkCert* " (since i'm using the chilkat software component), and the sendString() method only takes a "String" type. And at the other end (server) the recieveString() method only takes a "String" type also.

So, kindly how can i convert the certificate from a "CkCert* " typt into a "const char *" type?

Regards

technically,there is no way to send CkCert derictly across sockets.What you can do is to mashal it if possible and so unmashal at the other side. or send the memory buffer and size, then cast to CkCert when fetch the exact buffer size.
