I wrote a little program to test this... here's the results:
---<snip>----
picnic 19:06:23 ~ $ time ./test_https
5.47
500 (Internal Server Error) Can't connect to XXXXXXX.yahoo.com:443 (Bad
file descriptor)
Client-Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 02:21:59 GMT
real 13m22.537s
user 0m0.456s
sys 0m0.047s
picnic 19:21:59 ~ $
---<snip>----
(5.47 is it printing out the version number, to make sure I was accessing
my locally installed NEW copy as opposed to a copy installed elsewhere).
test_https is VERY simple:
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://XXXXXXXX.yahoo.com/favicon.ico');
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$response = $ua->request($request);
print $response->as_string();
So even the DEFAULT timeout (180) got completely ignored here.
