Create a SSL Socket to a specified host and port:

    socket = ssl_connect('github.com',443)
    # => #<OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket:0x00000002f60458>

Or create a temporary SSL Socket that automatically closes:

    ssl_socket('github.com',443) do |socket|
      socket.write("GET /\r\n")
      puts socket.read
    end
