NAME
Net::HTTPS - Low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS connection (client)
VERSION
version 6.22
DESCRIPTION
The "Net::HTTPS" is a low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS client. The
interface is the same as the interface for "Net::HTTP", but the
constructor takes additional parameters as accepted by IO::Socket::SSL.
The "Net::HTTPS" object is an "IO::Socket::SSL" too, which makes it
inherit additional methods from that base class.
For historical reasons this module also supports using "Net::SSL" (from
the Crypt-SSLeay distribution) as its SSL driver and base class. This
base is automatically selected if available and "IO::Socket::SSL"
isn't. You might also force which implementation to use by setting
$Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS before loading this module. If not set
this variable is initialized from the "PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS"
environment variable.
ENVIRONMENT
You might set the "PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS" environment
variable to the name of the base SSL implementation (and Net::HTTPS
base class) to use. The default is "IO::Socket::SSL". Currently the
only other supported value is "Net::SSL".
