     1.4 +The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed
     1.5 +URLs with LWP.
     1.6 +This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, so you don't use it
     1.7 +directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to access sites using
     1.8 +HTTP over SSL/TLS.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's ssl_opts,
    1.11 +and neither SSL_ca_file nor SSL_ca_path is set, then SSL_ca_file is implied
    1.12 +to be the one provided by Mozilla::CA.
    1.13 +If the Mozilla::CA module isn't available SSL requests will fail.
    1.14 +Either install this module, set up an alternative SSL_ca_file or disable
    1.15 +hostname verification.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled
    1.18 +in v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for the
    1.19 +CPAN tool-chain.
    1.20 +Applications that need https support can just declare their dependency on
    1.21 +LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know what underlying modules
    1.22 +to install.
