Yes.  OpenSSL can be added to any application to act
as a server _or_ a client.  (really, the web browser is just
an application which uses its own SSL library to communicate
by the SSL protocol).  You can write your own client
application which calls SSL_connect() to connect with
an SSL-enabled server.
