The sslcat program

Interface

  sslcat host port args
where path is the filename for the client to connect to.

sslcat connects to host on port via TCP, and then attempts an SSL connection. It prints any data it receives. sslcat can be used to transfer binary data. It does no conversion other than SSL encoding and decoding.

If port is not supplied, sslcat uses TCP port 443 (HTTPS).

If host is not supplied, sslcat connects to the local host.

If args are supplied, they are passed to sslclient unmodified.
