I guess I'm just not sure of what exactly it is you are doing. If your goal
is to have a WinForms app communicate with a web server programmatically,
.NET includes a System.Net.HttpWebRequest class that you can use for doing
programmatic HTTP protocol stuff, including SSL.

If your goal is to implement a custom HTTP Server, then it seems like it
would be easiest to using the built in model in ASP.NET and use its
extensibility mechanisms to implement your own HTTP handlers.

However, if you really want raw stream based data that is SSL encrypted,
then SslStream is probably the way to go. It really depends on the problem
you are trying to solve and the level of abstraction you want.

Glad you are making progress anyway.
