This perl module provides support for the HTTPS protocol under LWP, so
 that an 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 and 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 Sampo's Net::SSLeay (available in Debian as
 the libnet-ssleay-perl package).
