</head>
<body>
<h1>sclient</h1>
<p>ssl unwrapper for Windows, Mac, and Linux</p>
<p>a poor man's alternative to <code>openssl s_client</code>, <code>stunnel</code>, <code>socat</code>
for the simple use case of connecting a client application that doesn't support tls+sni
through a secure connection, https proxy, or sni multiplexer
(think <code>telnet</code>, <code>netcat</code>, <code>ssh</code>, <code>openvpn</code>, etc).</p>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<pre><code>$ sclient [-k] <remote> <local></code></pre>
<h3>Flags</h3>
<ul>
<li><kbd>-k, --insecure</kbd> ignore invalid tls certificates</li>
</ul>
<h3>Arguments</h3>
<ul>
<li><kbd><remote></kbd> the servername and port of the tls-enabled server (default port is 443)</li>
<li><kbd><local></kbd> the local address and port to bind to (default bind address is 127.0.0.1 or ::1)
<ul>
<li><code>-</code> may be used to read from stdin (like netcat)</li>
<li>may be omitted when piping <code>printf "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n" | sclient telebit.cloud</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
