 * should set the kCFStreamSSLPeerName property to "MySecureServer.com".
 * If you do not know the peer name of the remote host in advance (for example, you're not sure
 * if it will be "domain.com" or "www.domain.com"), then you can use the default settings to validate the

 * If you'd like your socket to continue operation during other modes, you may want to add modes such as
 * NSModalPanelRunLoopMode or NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode. Or you may simply want to use NSRunLoopCommonModes.

 * Accepted sockets will automatically inherit the same run loop modes as the listening socket.
 * 
 * Note: NSRunLoopCommonModes is defined in 10.5. For previous versions one can use kCFRunLoopCommonModes.
