NAME
   LWP::Protocol::https - Provide https support for LWP::UserAgent

SYNOPSIS
     use LWP::UserAgent;

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

DESCRIPTION
   The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed
   URLs with LWP. This module 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 Mozilla::CA. If the Mozilla::CA
   module isn't available SSL requests will fail. Either install this
   module, set up an alternative "SSL_ca_file" or disable hostname
   verification.

   This module used to be bundled with the 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.
