It worked perfectly for testing an SSL website. It's amazing how many so-called "web developers" have absolutely no idea what HTTP headers are or how their site gets served, but for those of us that do have an idea, this is a great tip. Thanks.

It's vital to have openssl to get this to work. Wish there was a way to do this with cisco. I can connect, but don't get any certificate detials for example. CPESE_STO000188#telnet 74.125.39.17 443 /source-interface GigabitEthernet0/1 Trying 74.125.39.17, 443 ... Open GET / HTTP/1.1 [Connection to 74.125.39.17 closed by foreign host] Works great! thanks for the tip! It’s vital to have openssl to get this to work.
