in thread Can't install LWP::Protocol::https::Socket

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.

    JIM
