Hello, There is post I pulled up from the mailing list archives dated: Mon, 02 May 2005 17:31:51 GMT (see link below) that says to create an EncryptedAppender override the FileAppender. In fact the XML comments for the the method protected virtual void SetQWForFiles(Stream fileStream) say "This method can be overridden by sub classes that want to wrap the System.IO.Stream in some way, for example to encrypt the output data using a System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream."
However, when sub classing FileAppender I noticed the function SetQWForFiles(Stream fileStream) never gets called. When looking at the class using .NET Reflector I see that the method protected virtual void OpenFile(string fileName, bool append) calls the method protected virtual void SetQWForFiles(TextWriter writer) which does not easily wrapping the stream in a CryptoStream. I see how one could override the OpenFile method and create the CryptoStream but I figured it would be easier than that. Am I missing something? Thanks for a wonderful software library and running this mailing list. -Asher http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4net-user/200505.mbox/%3cddeb64c8619ac64dbc074208b046611c363...@kronos.neoworks.co.uk%3e
