.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a simple wrapper around either of the two available \s-1SSL\s0
modules.  It offers a unified \s-1API\s0 for sending \s-1GET\s0 and \s-1POST\s0 requests over \s-1HTTPS\s0
and receiving responses.
.PP
It depends on Net::SSLeay _or_ ( Crypt::SSLeay and LWP::UserAgent ).
.SH "WHY THIS MODULE"
.IX Header "WHY THIS MODULE"
If you just want to write something that speaks \s-1HTTPS\s0, you don't need this
module.  Just go ahead and use whichever of the two modules is good for you.
Don't worry about it.
.PP
On the other hand, if you are a \s-1CPAN\s0 author or distribute a Perl application,
especially if you aim to support multiple OSes/disributions, using this module
for speaking \s-1HTTPS\s0 may make things easier on your users.  It allows your code
to be used with either \s-1SSL\s0 implementation.
.SH "FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "FUNCTIONS"
.SS "https_get \s-1HASHREF\s0 | \s-1FIELD\s0 => \s-1VALUE\s0, ..."
.IX Subsection "https_get HASHREF | FIELD => VALUE, ..."
Accepts parameters as either a hashref or a list of fields and values.
.PP
Parameters are:
.IP "host" 4
.IX Item "host"
.PD 0
.IP "port" 4
.IX Item "port"
.IP "path" 4
.IX Item "path"
.IP "headers (hashref)" 4
.IX Item "headers (hashref)"
.PD
For example: { 'X\-Header1' => 'value', ... }
.IP "args" 4
.IX Item "args"
\&\s-1CGI\s0 arguments, eitehr as a hashref or a listref.  In the latter case, ordering
is preserved (see Tie::IxHash to do so when passing a hashref).
.IP "debug" 4
.IX Item "debug"
Set true to enable debugging.
.PP
Returns a list consisting of the page content as a string, the \s-1HTTP\s0
response code and message (i.e. \*(L"200 \s-1OK\s0\*(R" or \*(L"404 Not Found\*(R"), and a list of
key/value pairs representing the \s-1HTTP\s0 response headers.
.SS "https_post \s-1HASHREF\s0 | \s-1FIELD\s0 => \s-1VALUE\s0, ..."
.IX Subsection "https_post HASHREF | FIELD => VALUE, ..."
Accepts parameters as either a hashref or a list of fields and values.
.PP
Parameters are:
.IP "host" 4
.IX Item "host"
.PD 0
.IP "port" 4
.IX Item "port"
.IP "path" 4
.IX Item "path"
.IP "headers (hashref)" 4
.IX Item "headers (hashref)"
.PD
For example: { 'X\-Header1' => 'value', ... }
.IP "Content-Type" 4
.IX Item "Content-Type"
Defaults to \*(L"application/x\-www\-form\-urlencoded\*(R" if not specified.
.IP "args" 4
.IX Item "args"
\&\s-1CGI\s0 arguments, eitehr as a hashref or a listref.  In the latter case, ordering
is preserved (see Tie::IxHash to do so when passing a hashref).
.IP "content" 4
.IX Item "content"
Raw content (overrides args).  A simple scalar containing the raw content.
.IP "debug" 4
.IX Item "debug"
Set true to enable debugging in the underlying \s-1SSL\s0 module.
.PP
Returns a list consisting of the page content as a string, the \s-1HTTP\s0
response code and message (i.e. \*(L"200 \s-1OK\s0\*(R" or \*(L"404 Not Found\*(R"), and a list of
key/value pairs representing the \s-1HTTP\s0 response headers.
