liblwp-protocol-https-perl - 6.07-2 main

The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using HTTPS schemed URLs
with LWP. LWP::Protocol::https is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, so
you don't use it directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to access
sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.
.
If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's ssl_opts, and
neither SSL_ca_file nor SSL_ca_path is set, then SSL_ca_file is implied to be
the one provided by ca-certificates.
.
This module used to be bundled with libwww-perl, but it was unbundled in
v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for the CPAN
tool-chain. Applications that need HTTPS support can just declare their
dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know what
underlying modules to install.
