sslconnect host port args
sslconnect connects to host on port via TCP, and attempts an SSL connection. It sends its standard input to the server, printing a CR after each LF, and prints any data it receives from the server to standard output. sslconnect can be used to fetch binary data. It does no conversion other than SSL encoding and decoding on received data.
If port is not supplied, sslconnect uses TCP port 443 (HTTPS).
If host is not supplied, sslconnect connects to the local host.
If args are supplied, they are passed to sslclient unmodified.
