Thank you so much Vincent,

I think this is what I need ... I tried to use it to connect to a local web server running in 443 - http://hpaste.org/82943 however, I get the following error - 

ssl_client.hs: connect: failed (Connection refused (WSAECONNREFUSED))

Am I missing something?

Regards,

Kashyap

The reason I want to use TLS is that I'd want to pack the whole thing in a
DLL and give it off to a friend for use.

What I am really looking for is a small sample code that demonstrates how
TLS package can be used to connect to a webserver or imapserver.

Kashyap,

I suggest you look at the connection package [1] which is made for this specific purpose, and comes with examples on how to use it [2].

If you want to only use tls, i suggest to look at connection's code [3], or the tls-debug [4] package, which got many small utils that use tls.
