NAME
Net::HTTPS - Low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS connection (client) DESCRIPTION
The "Net::HTTPS" is a low-level HTTP over SSL/TLS client. The interface is the same as the interface for "Net::HTTP", but the constructor method take additional parameters as accepted by IO::Socket::SSL. The "Net::HTTPS" object isa "IO::Socket::SSL" too, which make it inherit additional methods from that base class. For historical reasons this module also supports using "Net::SSL" (from the Crypt-SSLeay distribution) as its SSL driver and base class. This base is automatically selected if available and "IO::Socket::SSL" isn't. You might also force which implementation to use by setting $Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS before loading this module. If not set this variable is initialized from the "PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS" environment variable. ENVIRONMENT
You might set the "PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS" environment variable to the name of the base SSL implementation (and Net::HTTPS base class) to use. The default is "IO::Socket::SSL". Currently the only other supported value is "Net::SSL". SEE ALSO

NAME
Net::SSLGlue::LDAP - proper certificate checking for ldaps in Net::LDAP SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSLGlue::LDAP; local %Net::SSLGlue::LDAP = ( SSL_verifycn_name => $hostname_in_cert ); my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( $hostname, capath => ... ); $ldap->start_tls; DESCRIPTION
Net::SSLGlue::LDAP modifies Net::LDAP so that it does proper certificate checking using the "ldap" SSL_verify_scheme from IO::Socket::SSL. Because Net::LDAP 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::LDAP::SSLopts variable. All of the "SSL_*" parameters from IO::Socket::SSL can be used; the following parameter is especially useful: 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. "SSL_ca_path", "SSL_ca_file" for IO::Socket::SSL can be set with the "capath" and "cafile" parameters of Net::LDAP::new and "SSL_verify_mode" can be set with "verify", but the meaning of the values differs ("none" is 0, e.g. disable certificate verification).
