How do I send a raw TCP request from jenkins pipeline?

[red 888]

There is the excellent "httpRequest" I can use in a pipeline build step.

But now I want to send a raw TCP request, I could not find a plugin for this. Is there a supported plugin feature for this? I want to avoid shelling out for this.

This is an example of the raw TCP request I am making:

echo 'abc123 blahblahblah' | nc public.endpoint.com 10514

I the endpoint supports tls so I'd like to use that for the connection too.

If there is no plugin is it possible to write a groovy class in "src" folder that uses the Java tcp client to esblish a tls connection and send messages?

You should be able to put that in an sh (scripted) or script (declarative).  For example:

sh '''

             echo 'abc123 blahblahblah' | nc public.endpoint.com 10514

'''
