NAME

6       Net::HTTPS - Low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS connection (client)
7

VERSION

9       version 6.23
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The "Net::HTTPS" is a low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS client.  The
13       interface is the same as the interface for "Net::HTTP", but the
14       constructor takes additional parameters as accepted by IO::Socket::SSL.
15       The "Net::HTTPS" object is an "IO::Socket::SSL" too, which makes it
16       inherit additional methods from that base class.
17
18       For historical reasons this module also supports using "Net::SSL" (from
19       the Crypt-SSLeay distribution) as its SSL driver and base class.  This
20       base is automatically selected if available and "IO::Socket::SSL"
21       isn't.  You might also force which implementation to use by setting
22       $Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS before loading this module.  If not set
23       this variable is initialized from the "PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS"
24       environment variable.
25

ENVIRONMENT

27       You might set the "PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS" environment
28       variable to the name of the base SSL implementation (and Net::HTTPS
29       base class) to use.  The default is "IO::Socket::SSL".  Currently the
30       only other supported value is "Net::SSL".
