Crypt::SSLeay 0.51

Crypt::SSLeay is a Perl module for OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support.

SYNOPSIS

lwp-request https://www.nodeworks.com

use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $req = new HTTP::Request(GET, https://www.nodeworks.com);
my $res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->code."n";

# PROXY SUPPORT
$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = http://proxy_hostname_or_ip:port;

# PROXY_BASIC_AUTH
$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY_USERNAME} = username;
$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY_PASSWORD} = password;

# DEBUGGING SWITCH / LOW LEVEL SSL DIAGNOSTICS
$ENV{HTTPS_DEBUG} = 1;

# DEFAULT SSL VERSION
$ENV{HTTPS_VERSION} = 3;

# CLIENT CERT SUPPORT
$ENV{HTTPS_CERT_FILE} = certs/notacacert.pem;
$ENV{HTTPS_KEY_FILE} = certs/notacakeynopass.pem;

# CA CERT PEER VERIFICATION
$ENV{HTTPS_CA_FILE} = certs/ca-bundle.crt;
$ENV{HTTPS_CA_DIR} = certs/;

# CLIENT PKCS12 CERT SUPPORT
$ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_FILE} = certs/pkcs12.pkcs12;
$ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_PASSWORD} = PKCS12_PASSWORD;

This perl module provides support for the https protocol under LWP, so that a LWP::UserAgent can make https GET & HEAD & POST requests. Please see perldoc LWP for more information on POST requests.

The Crypt::SSLeay package contains Net::SSL, which is automatically loaded by LWP::Protocol::https on https requests, and provides the necessary SSL glue for that module to work via these deprecated modules:

Crypt::SSLeay::CTX
Crypt::SSLeay::Conn
Crypt::SSLeay::X509

Work on Crypt::SSLeay has been continued only to provide https support for the LWP - libwww perl libraries. If you want access to the OpenSSL API via perl, check out Sampos Net::SSLeay.
