[Tipz] netcat and HTTPS

[Ian Langworth]

To use netcat with an HTTP server over SSL, drop this into
a config file, such as 'stunnel.conf':

    verify=0
    foreground=yes
    client=yes
    pid=
    [https]
    accept=localhost:8080
    connect=example.com:443
    transparent=yes

Then run stunnel:

    $ stunnel stunnel.conf

Then run netcat:

    $ nc localhost 8080
    GET / HTTP/1.0
    ...
