The primary goal is to provide enough functionality for use by BusyBox's wget applet. +wolfssl-util's `s_client` command is designed to be stronger by default than +openssl's, as the latter is only meant to be a "diagnostic tool". That is, the +following command: + + $ wolfssl-util s_client -quiet -connect ${host}:${port} \ + > -servername ${servername} + +is roughly equivalent to the more complicated: + + $ openssl s_client -quiet -connect ${host}:${port} \ + > -servername ${servername} -verify 9 -verify_return_error \ + > -no_ssl3 -no_tls1 -no_tls1_1 + This utility is in no way authored by or affiliated with wolfSSL Inc. or its contributors. -- cgit v0.9.1
