SSLPie: a CLI, openssl-like tool for humans

SSLPie (pronounced ess-ess-ell-pie) is a command line TLS/SSL client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with ssl certificates as human-friendly as possible. It provides a simple ssl command that allows for querying SSL/TLS certificates using a simple and natural syntax, and displays colorized output. SSLPie can be used for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with certificates.

This project was shamelessly ripped off from the amazing HTTPie project at https://httpie.org/
