Connect to a SSL protected site with openssl using tls

Since many have started removing SSLv3 many now receive this error when connecting to SSL sites using openssl:

# openssl s_client -connect www..example.com:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
25370:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:188:

This is easily solved by forcing openssl to use tls instead:

# openssl s_client -connect www.example.com:443 -tls1
