1Build instructions:
2
3* Unpack matrixssl-3-4-2-open.tgz.
4* Build it: "make"
5* Drop this directory into matrixssl-3-4-2-open/ssl_helper
6* Run ssl_helper.sh to compile and link the helper
7
8Usage: "ssl_helper -d <FILE_DESCRIPTOR>" where FILE_DESCRIPTOR is open to the peer.
9
10In bash, you can do it this way:
11$ ssl_helper -d3 3<>/dev/tcp/HOST/PORT
12
13Stdin will be SSL-encrypted and sent to FILE_DESCRIPTOR.
14Data from FILE_DESCRIPTOR will be decrypted and sent to stdout.
15
16The plan is to adapt it for wget https helper, and for ssl support in nc.
