Huh, yeah, I suppose that would work. Connect stdin to ioconnect’s stdout, and vice versa. Would have to look up how to do that because I don’t know the syntax for it, but then I can use it as the other end of tlsclient to connect to an https host, and tcpclient for http.
Could also add a helper program/script to allow disconnecting from one host and connecting to another, enabling/disabling TLS, etc.
