| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 1 The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 2 URLs with LWP. |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 3 This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, so you don't use it |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 4 directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to access sites using |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 5 HTTP over SSL/TLS. |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 7 If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's ssl_opts, |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 8 and neither SSL_ca_file nor SSL_ca_path is set, then SSL_ca_file is implied |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 9 to be the one provided by Mozilla::CA. |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 10 If the Mozilla::CA module isn't available SSL requests will fail. |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 11 Either install this module, set up an alternative SSL_ca_file or disable |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 12 hostname verification. |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 13 |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 14 This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 15 in v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for the |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 16 CPAN tool-chain. |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 17 Applications that need https support can just declare their dependency on |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 18 LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know what underlying modules |
| Hans-G?nter@24236 | 19 to install. |
