Ruby has a working openssl library so, while I'm not sure that it's
the best language for what you are attempting, it should work.

The docs are here: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/ and there are examples
included with the Ruby source (e.g. ruby-1.8.6/sample/openssl). You'll
probably want to check out the echo_cli.rb example and it might be a
good idea to check out O'Reilly's 'Network Security with OpenSSL' if
you aren't familiar with using OpenSSL or SSL/TLS in general.
