See this bug. You can skip tests:

cpan> notest install LWP::Protocol::https

Thanks Marto/anonymous monk,

I was able to install the module but it seems when I use the module in my Perl script I'm still having errors accessing https sites. I can access https sites using wget and browser.

Can't connect to www.google.com:443 (Network is unreachable)

LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: connect: Network is unreachable at /usr/
+local/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 51

Hi,

I just wanted to confirm (due to paranoia) that this problem is still outstanding as identified in https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=67001

I modified that test apache.t in LWP::Protocol::https as follows:

diff t/apache.t t/apache-jim.t 
13c13
< my $res = $ua->simple_request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "https://www
+.apache.org"));
---
> my $res = $ua->simple_request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "https://www
+.bankofamerica.com"));
18c18
< like($res->content, qr/Apache Software Foundation/);
---
> like($res->content, qr/Bank of America/);

And I got success:

$ prove  --blib t/apache-jim.t 
t/apache-jim.t .. ok   
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=5,  3 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr  0.01 sys +  0.25 cusr 
+ 0.04 csys =  0.34 CPU)
Result: PASS

I see that the bug is still outstanding, but I am nervous that the Apache Foundation cert query is still not fixed and/or the test has not been updated to something more reasonable.

So - again feel pretty good. Just wanted another opinion from the Monks.
