lol, apologies .. I thought I had included enough information ;) I am trying to create a simple MSN Messenger Client. Majority of the communication is just plan text with no formatting. But to enable Microsoft to be generic with their authentication they have made it so that you communicate using HTTPS. So, only a small fraction of time is used to communicate via HTTPS..
Surely the HTTP Client isn't the correct purposal for this situation?
