RE: The smallest minimal example of an HTTPS GET request with openssl

["Porter, Andrew" <Andrew_Porter@xxxxxxx>]

You would have to ignore some initial certificate info output but some variation on

 

echo "GET /version" | openssl s_client -connect test.example.com -crlf -ign_eof -quiet

 

would be as pure OpenSSL as you can get…

Hello,

 

I've only managed to find this, but it seems to do too much for what I need:

 

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/SSL/TLS_Client

 

Basically I need something like Go's http.Get("https://mysite.com/version") to just get a one line of text from the server.

 

I can't use libcurl, I have to use pure openssl.

 

Thanks
