   Playing with ncat and TLS. Command line is MUCH nicer than openssl s_client, but:

   $ ncat -C --ssl mwl.io 443
   GET / mwl.io HTTP/1.1
   HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

   No chance to enter the Host header, won't accept \n.

   Lots of questions, lots of advice to use openssl s_client.

   So, I guess this isn't a thing? Sigh.

     @mwl I think if you pipe print "GET / HTTP/1.1\nHOST: mwl.io wont it work?

     I typically put my request into a file and just send the file to nc when I need it. I don't know what the difference is - but it tends to work for me

     @silverwizard

     GET / HTTP/1.1\nHOST: mwl.io
     Ncat: Input/output error.

     There's SOMETHING here. Who knows what?

     Computers were a mistake.
