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.
