Net::HTTPS - phpMan

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".
