class method

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.open

open(remote_host, remote_port, local_host=nil, local_port=nil, context: nil)

Creates a new instance of SSLSocket. _remote_host_ and _remote_port_ are used to open TCPSocket. If _local_host_ and _local_port_ are specified, then those parameters are used on the local end to establish the connection. If context is provided, the SSL Sockets initial params will be taken from the context.

Examples

Example
sock = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.open('localhost', 443)
sock.connect # Initiates a connection to localhost:443

with SSLContext:

Example
ctx = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new
sock = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.open('localhost', 443, context: ctx)
sock.connect # Initiates a connection to localhost:443 with SSLContext
