I usually capture the connection to a file with tcpdump and then
use ssldump to read the file. Sometimes I use wireshark (formerly
ethereal) but it's a bit heavyweight for most of my needs. As for
how to interpret what ssldump shows, I'd recommend reading Eric
Rescorla's _SSL and TLS_. Rescorla wrote ssldump and used it for
many of the book's diagrams; he's also the author or co-author of
several of the relevant RFCs (e.g., RFC 4346 The Transport Layer
Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.1).
