I wrote a small test app using SslStream.

When you close an SslStream it does not notify the peer first with a
close_notify.

Is there some way to force SslStream to send a close_notify before closing
the stream? If not, then that means SslStream is vulnerable to a so-called
truncation attack.

Will a future version of the FCL fix this?
