Packit ec7ac3
SYNOPSIS
Packit ec7ac3
      use LWP::UserAgent;
Packit ec7ac3
Packit ec7ac3
      $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 1 });
Packit ec7ac3
      $res = $ua->get("https://www.example.com");

DESCRIPTION
Packit ec7ac3
    The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed
Packit ec7ac3
    URLs with LWP. This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, so
Packit ec7ac3
    you don't use it directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to
Packit ec7ac3
    access sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.
Packit ec7ac3
Packit ec7ac3
    If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's "ssl_opts",
Packit ec7ac3
    and neither "SSL_ca_file" nor "SSL_ca_path" is set, then "SSL_ca_file"
Packit ec7ac3
    is implied to be the one provided by Mozilla::CA. If the Mozilla::CA
Packit ec7ac3
    module isn't available SSL requests will fail. Either install this
Packit ec7ac3
    module, set up an alternative "SSL_ca_file" or disable hostname
Packit ec7ac3
    verification.

Packit ec7ac3
    This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was
Packit ec7ac3
    unbundled in v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies
Packit ec7ac3
    properly for the CPAN tool-chain. Applications that need https support
Packit ec7ac3
    can just declare their dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no
Packit ec7ac3
    longer need to know what underlying modules to install.
