Hi Petr,

There's 2 packages that provide easy client TLS side API.
I don't think it would be difficult to provide a conduit wrapper for both:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-simple-tls
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/connection

connection is a bit more low level for easily integration into something 
higher level.
