sslconnect
sslconnect - simple sslclient with verbose output

SYNOPSIS
sslconnect [ host port args ]

DESCRIPTION
sslconnect connects via the IP[v4|v6] protocol to host on port using 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 host is not supplied, sslconnect connects to the local host. If port is not supplied, sslconnect uses TCP port 465 (SMTPS) and thus is complementary to mconnect. If args are supplied, they are passed to sslclient unmodified. Unlike a standard SMTP(S) client, sslconnect does not perform a DNS MX lookup, thus the FQDN or IP rof the MTA must be specified.
