| Subject: | LWP::UserAgent error message: HTTPS support |
Hi,
if one tries to access HTTPS URLs and both Crypt::SSLeay and
IO::Socket::SSL are not installed, it won't work.
The error message from LWP says that the user needs Crypt::SSLeay but
LWP::UserAgent will also work with IO::Socket::SSL, without the SSLeay
dependency.
In the attached patch I've fixed the error message, please review and
consider including it if it's reasonable.
Cheers
Antonio
