Basically you open an NSPR socket to the remote server, initialize the
socket for SSL, and write "GET /HTTP1.0" into the open NSPR socket.
Documentation on how to do this is available at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security .
If you are writing a standalone app, you can use NSS. If you are writing
in mozilla, use PSM. Sample programs are available from cvs in mozilla
under mozilla/security/nss/cmd/tstclnt and
mozilla/security/nss/cmd/SSLsample .
