class MOutputStream
/**	
The MOutputStream and MOutputStreamObserver classes provide the API to send
data to a connected remote host. They encapsulate the outbound stream of a 
connected socket. 

The output socket observer must bind itself to the output stream before using
any of the other MOutputStream functions. The MOutputStream::Bind() API is 
used to do this binding. When done for the first time the output stream moves
from the Idle state to the PendingSend state.

Once an observer has been bound to the output stream data can be sent to the
connected host using the MOutputStream::SendDataReq() API. This can only be 
done when the output stream is in the PendingSend state otherwise a panic 
occurs. The MOutputStream::SendDataReq() API changes the output stream state
to the SentData state. 

The supplied data buffer must remain valid until the observer is notified 
that the send has been successful. This is done using the 
MOutputStreamObserver::SendDataCnf() API. The output stream moves back to 
the PendingSend state.

The output stream can only be re-bound to another observer when in the 
PendingSend state. The re-binding does not change the state of the output
stream.
	  
There are two ways to shutdown the stream - asynchronously (standard use) and
synchronously. 

In normal use the asynchronous MOutputSocket::ShutdownReq() API can be used. 
The output stream changes to the Closing state. The observer is notified that
the stream has closed via the MOutputStreamObserver::OutputStreamCloseInd()
API. The output stream is then in the Closed state. It is no longer valid to
use the output stream and to do so will cause an access violation.

With the asynchronous shutdown the corresponding input stream is also shutdown.
Its observer is notified that the input stream has been closed. Similarly, 
if the corresponding input stream has been shutdown synchronously or 
asynchronously the output stream observer will be notified that the stream 
has been closed.

The MOutputSocket::Close() API closes the output stream synchronously. In 
this case the output stream observer will not be notified. Once the the call
completes the output stream is in the Closed state and is no longer valid. 
This synchronous close should be used when an asynchronous shutdown is not 
appropriate, e.g. when deleting the observer object in error conditions.

Similar to the asynchronous shutdown the corresponding input stream is also 
shutdown and its observer notified.

The MOutputStream::SecureClientReq() API allows the connection to be upgraded
to be secure. This request initiates a secure handshake - the local host of 
the connection is the client and the remote host is the server in the 
handshake. During the handshake, the corresponding input stream is suspended -
no data will be received.

If the secure handshake is successful the output stream observer is notified 
using the MOutputStreamObserver::SecureClientCnf() API. The input stream
resumes its activity. If the secure handshake was not successful then the 
stream handles the error in the normal manner.

The certificate information for the secure connection can be obtained using 
the MOutputStream::ServerCert() API.
