Flash and AIR do provide general client Socket support, but unfortunately this doesn't currently include support for SSL/TLS. Neither Flash nor AIR provides a ServerSocket API.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/Socket.html LCDS supports RTMP connections from the player, which do support SSL/TLS and can be configured to use whatever port you wish, but as Josh mentioned that's not generally useful for connecting to a POP server.

Unfortunately neither Flex nor Air have general socket support, they can only connecting to a LCDS server on a specific port which isn't much use for general network programming. I'm *really* hoping this is coming real soon now, at least to Air. -Josh On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 8:59 AM, lgks701 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: How to connect SSL pop server such as Gmail? Java uses SSLSocket which extends Socket to connect SSL pop server, and how about actionscript? -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
