sslconnect - simple sslclient with verbose output
[1mSYNOPSIS[0m
[1msslconnect [22m[ [4mhost[24m [4mport[24m [4margs[24m ]
[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
[1msslconnect [22mconnects via the IP[v4|v6] protocol to [4mhost[24m [4mon[24m [4mport[24m 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. [1msslconnect [22mcan be used to
fetch binary data. It does no conversion other than SSL encoding and
decoding on received data.
If [4mhost[24m is not supplied, [1msslconnect [22mconnects to the local host.
If [4mport[24m is not supplied, [1msslconnect [22muses TCP port 465 (SMTPS) and thus
is complementary to [1mmconnect[22m.
If [4margs[24m are supplied, they are passed to [1msslclient [22munmodified.
Unlike a standard SMTP(S) client, [1msslconnect [22mdoes not perform a DNS MX
lookup, thus the FQDN or IP rof the MTA must be specified.
