NAME

       Net::SSLGlue::LWP - proper certificate checking for https in LWP

SYNOPSIS

	       use Net::SSLGlue::LWP SSL_ca_path => ...;
	       use LWP::Simple;
	       get( 'https://www....' );

	       {
		       local %Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts = %Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts;

		       # switch off verification
		       $Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts{SSL_verify_mode} = 0;

		       # or: set different verification policy, because cert does
		       # not conform to RFC (wildcards in CN are not allowed for https,
		       # but some servers do it anyway)
		       $Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts{SSL_verifycn_scheme} = {
			       wildcards_in_cn => 'anywhere',
			       check_cn => 'always',
		       };
	       }

DESCRIPTION

       Net::SSLGlue::LWP modifies Net::HTTPS and LWP::Protocol::https so that Net::HTTPS is forced to use IO::Socket::SSL instead of
       Crypt::SSLeay, and that LWP::Protocol::https does proper certificate checking using the "http" SSL_verify_scheme from IO::Socket::SSL.

       Because LWP does not have a mechanism to forward arbitrary parameters for the construction of the underlying socket these parameters can be
       set globally when including the package, or with local settings of the %Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts variable.

       All of the "SSL_*" parameter from IO::Socket::SSL can be used; the following parameters are especially useful:

       SSL_ca_path, SSL_ca_file
	   Specifies the path or a file where the CAs used for checking the certificates are located. This is typically "etc/ssl/certs" on UNIX
	   systems.

       SSL_verify_mode
	   If set to 0, verification of the certificate will be disabled. By default it is set to 1 which means that the peer certificate is
	   checked.

       SSL_verifycn_name
	   Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the
	   certificate against another name you can specify it with this parameter.

NAME

       LWP::Authen::Wsse - Library for enabling X-WSSE authentication in LWP

VERSION

       This document describes version 0.05 of LWP::Authen::Wsse, released December 27, 2005.

SYNOPSIS

	   use LWP::UserAgent;
	   use HTTP::Request::Common;
	   my $url = 'http://www.example.org/protected_page.html';

	   # Set up the WSSE client
	   my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
	   $ua->credentials('example.org', '', 'username', 'password');

	   $request = GET $url;
	   print "--Performing request now...-----------
";
	   $response = $ua->request($request);
	   print "--Done with request-------------------
";

	   if ($response->is_success) {
	       print "It worked!->", $response->code, "
";
	   }
	   else {
	       print "It didn't work!->", $response->code, "
";
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       "LWP::Authen::Wsse" allows LWP to authenticate against servers that are using the "X-WSSE" authentication scheme, as required by the Atom
       Authentication API.

       The module is used indirectly through LWP, rather than including it directly in your code.  The LWP system will invoke the WSSE
       authentication when it encounters the authentication scheme while attempting to retrieve a URL from a server.

       You also need to set the credentials on the UserAgent object like this:

	  $ua->credentials('www.company.com:80', '', "username", "password");

       Alternatively, you may also subclass LWP::UserAgent and override the "get_basic_credentials()" method.  See LWP::UserAgent for more
       details.
