Re: Disable SSL certificate verification with LWP

Since the behavior of the options you've used depend on the version of LWP::Prototocol::https and the OS you used and if you use the CPAN version or a patched version from the distribution it would be useful to provide these information.

OS is RHEL 6. Version of LWP::Protocol::https is... none. This module is not installed on my system. HUH? I would've expected this module to be automatically installed with LWP and/or to have thrown errors at me before this point. I've been connecting to secure servers, it's only the secure servers with self-signed certificates that have been causing problems. Installing the module has fixed the problem, but in the interests of knowledge, could someone explain what's happening?	[reply]
