.SH "NAME"
Net::HTTPS \- Low\-level HTTP over SSL/TLS connection (client)
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
version 6.22
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \f(CW\*(C`Net::HTTPS\*(C'\fR is a low-level \s-1HTTP\s0 over \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 client.  The interface is the same
as the interface for \f(CW\*(C`Net::HTTP\*(C'\fR, but the constructor takes additional parameters
as accepted by IO::Socket::SSL.  The \f(CW\*(C`Net::HTTPS\*(C'\fR object is an \f(CW\*(C`IO::Socket::SSL\*(C'\fR
too, which makes it inherit additional methods from that base class.
.PP
For historical reasons this module also supports using \f(CW\*(C`Net::SSL\*(C'\fR (from the
Crypt-SSLeay distribution) as its \s-1SSL\s0 driver and base class.  This base is
automatically selected if available and \f(CW\*(C`IO::Socket::SSL\*(C'\fR isn't.  You might
also force which implementation to use by setting \f(CW$Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS\fR
before loading this module.  If not set this variable is initialized from the
\&\f(CW\*(C`PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS\*(C'\fR environment variable.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
You might set the \f(CW\*(C`PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS\*(C'\fR environment variable to the name
of the base \s-1SSL\s0 implementation (and Net::HTTPS base class) to use.  The default
is \f(CW\*(C`IO::Socket::SSL\*(C'\fR.  Currently the only other supported value is \f(CW\*(C`Net::SSL\*(C'\fR.
