  • Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

    Hi all,

    Wonder if someone can please help a noob. I have been using the James Butler book 'Programming for Betfair' but I wonder if it's a bit out of date. When I run the program I get the following error but I have no idea what I am missing.

    An exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll but was not handled in user code

    Additional information: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

    If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

    The app loads the login window then breaks after I enter my username and password. The 2FA screen is not presented, but I have added this PC as a trusted device and also tried temporarily disabling 2FA (re-enabled now) to see if that was causing the issue.

    When Visual Studio breaks, it takes me to the penultimate line of this code:
    ===
    Private Function SendSportsReq(ByVal jsonString As String)
    Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://api.betfair.com/exchange/betting/json-rpc/v1")

    Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonString)

    request.Method = "POST"
    request.ContentType = "application/json"
    request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
    request.Headers.Add("X-Application: **MY KEY**")
    request.Headers.Add("X-Authentication: " & ssoid)

    Dim dataStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream() <===
    dataStream.write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
    ====

    More information can be provided if it will help, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I am also getting intermittent SSL/TLS errors.

    .NET 5 application, no changes our end, worked perfectly until Friday.

    Response is:

    `The SSL connection could not be established. Received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes from the transport stream.`

    This started on Friday night accross several endpoints - including PlaceOrder which has caused a lot of problems.

    If anyone figures out why it is happening pleaser let me know, I am 99.99% confident it is not our side, and it works most of the time (and always worked before).

      What version of TLS are you using ? It needs to be TLS version 1.2. One way to easily set this is to make sure you are using Dot Net framework 4.6 or later

        I am using .NET framework 4.8 according to the project properties, but have multiple versions installed. Should I get rid of versions pre 4.6 to ensure that there is no clash?

          Add this line to your program:
          ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

            Hi
            Dot Net version 4.8 should be fine, you don't need to delete any older versions. Net 4.8 should give you TLS1.2 by default. The problem must lie elsewhere, but not sure what it is sorry. You can try WTPooh's suggestion as its quick and easy to do, but I suspect it wont help on your specific problem.

              This seems to have worked, thanks very much!
