NAME

IO::All::HTTPS - Extends IO::All for HTTPS URLs

SYNOPSIS

use IO::All;

$content < io('https://example.org');   # GET webpage

# two ways of getting a page with a password:
$content < io('https://me:secret@example.org');
$content < io('https://example.org')->user('me')->passwd('secret');

DESCRIPTION

This module extends IO::All for dealing with HTTPS URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All whenever it sees something that looks like an HTTPS URL.

The SYNOPSIS shows some simple typical examples, but there are many other interesting combinations with other IO::All features! For example, you can get an HTTPS URL and write the content to a socket, or to an FTP URL, of to a DBM file.

METHODS

This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is https, which can be used to create a blank IO::All::HTTPS object; or it can also take an HTTPS URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('https://example.com'), which calls the https method automatically.

OPERATOR OVERLOADING

The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an HTTPS URL; > PUTs to an HTTPS URL.

SEE ALSO
