[zeromq-dev] Implementing a ZAP handler in C#

[Robert Pickering]

I've been continuing to look at this today. To investigate further I
build my own version of libzmq and added some debug code. What I think I
see is the handshake in zmq::stream_engine_t::in_event is successful but
in the sub/pub model the client sends no further data so there's nothing
to trigger the ZAP handler. Is there anyway to force authentication to
take place? Or is curve security just not an option with the sub/pub
model?

Thanks,
Rob
