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.
