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