Hello,
XML::RPC is not reporting an error if a https connection is requested but LWP::Protocol::https is not installed.
I was trying to get http://doc.rpc.gandi.net/domain/usage.html (first example with version.info) to work, and getting the following (I added a p $api; to see if the New was succeeding):
You can even try it without an API key to reproduce:
use XML::RPC;
use Data::Printer;
my $api = XML::RPC->new('https://rpc.gandi.net/xmlrpc/');
p $api;
my $apikey = 'my 24-character API key';
my $version = $api->call( 'version.info', $apikey );
p $version;
$ ./upload-cert.pl
XML::RPC {

}
}
no data at /home/nils/perl5/lib/perl5/XML/RPC.pm line 255.
Trying the same call with RPC::XML gave the following error:
$ ./upload-cert2.pl
"RPC::XML::Client::send_request: HTTP server error: Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed)"
Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::RPC" (perhaps you forgot to load "XML::RPC"?) at ./upload-cert2.pl line 19.
Error: RPC::XML::Client::send_request: HTTP server error: Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed)
Installing LWP::Protocol::https made it work with both XML::RPC and RPC::XML
Please detect this error and report it as RPC::XML does, it will save someone a few hours.
Thanks
Nils
