| 0x001A0080 | Context-only | (u32 contexthandle, u32 handle) This writes some sort of context handle into the session context. | |
| 0x001B0080 | Context-only | ContextClearOpt | |
| 0x001C00C4 | Context-only | (u32 contexthandle, u32 size0, u32 size1, ((Size0<<4) | 12), outbufptr0, ((Size1<<4) | 12), outbufptr1) This copies two strings to the specified output buffers, each string is only copied if it was successfully loaded. The out sizes include the nul-terminator. | |
| 0x001D0040 | Context-only | (u32 contexthandle) Writes an output u32 from the context state to cmdreply[2]. | |

Going by strings in the SSL sysmodule it appears the sysmodule uses RSA BSAFE(like certain other 3DS software), this is also likely where the "ssl:C" name comes from(RSA BSAFE "SSL-C").
Similar to HTTPC, each SSL context is used with a dedicated service session which gets opened after creating that context. Following creating the context + opening the service session, SSLC:InitializeConnectionSession is used from that service session for that context. Afterwards, all commands which require a handle for this context are done with this dedicated service session.
Internally there's a separate object vtable used with the above SSLC commands, for the main session(where SSLC:InitializeConnectionSession wasn't used), and context sessions where SSLC:InitializeConnectionSession was used. Error 0xD960BBF4 will be returned if a command was used with the wrong session type.
Like some other commands, 0x001F0082 and 0x00200082 are not used by HTTP-sysmodule.
Among commands 0x00180080..0x001B0080 none of them are completely mandatory. However, with the default settings at bare minimum a RootCertChain needs selected otherwise an untrusted-RootCA error will trigger eventually.
It's unknown whether TLS server->client connections are supported.
