SYNOPSIS
sslconnect host port argsDESCRIPTION
The sslconnect program 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.
The sslconnect program 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 uses localhost.
If args are supplied, they are passed unmodified as options to sslclient.
EXIT STATUS
The sslconnect program exits 111 for temporary errors and 100 for permanent
errors. It exits 0 on success.
