<H2>NAME</H2>
Net::HTTPS - Low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS connection (client)
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>VERSION</H2>
version 6.19
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The <TT>&quot;Net::HTTPS&quot;</TT> is a low-level <FONT SIZE="-1">HTTP</FONT> over <FONT SIZE="-1">SSL/TLS</FONT> client. The interface is the same
as the interface for <TT>&quot;Net::HTTP&quot;</TT>, but the constructor takes additional parameters
as accepted by IO::Socket::SSL. The <TT>&quot;Net::HTTPS&quot;</TT> object is an <TT>&quot;IO::Socket::SSL&quot;</TT>
too, which makes it inherit additional methods from that base class.
<P>
For historical reasons this module also supports using <TT>&quot;Net::SSL&quot;</TT> (from the
Crypt-SSLeay distribution) as its <FONT SIZE="-1">SSL</FONT> driver and base class. This base is
automatically selected if available and <TT>&quot;IO::Socket::SSL&quot;</TT> isn't. You might
also force which implementation to use by setting <TT>$Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS</TT>
before loading this module. If not set this variable is initialized from the
<TT>&quot;PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS&quot;</TT> environment variable.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2>
You might set the <TT>&quot;PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS&quot;</TT> environment variable to the name
of the base <FONT SIZE="-1">SSL</FONT> implementation (and Net::HTTPS base class) to use. The default
is <TT>&quot;IO::Socket::SSL&quot;</TT>. Currently the only other supported value is <TT>&quot;Net::SSL&quot;</TT>.
