Howdy, I'm the maintainer of HTTP::Daemon::SSL, and I've received a few requests for it to be included in the libwww-perl bundle. The module implements a basic HTTPS server class inheriting most methods from HTTP::Daemon, so that seems like a reasonable place to put it. On the other hand, it's dependent on IO::Socket::SSL and therefore on a whole host of other things that don't naturally belong in libwww-perl (like Net::SSLeay), so it could only be used if those modules were already installed on the system. Crypt::SSLeay doesn't have the features to support this kind of thing (the accept() sub in Net::SSL is currently 'die "NYI";'), so there's no easy way to use that instead.
Should it be part of libwww-perl, or should it not? Thanks, Peter P.S. I'm off-list, so please CC me in replies. On Sun, 2004-12-12 at 10:37 -0800, Kees Cook wrote: > Cool, thanks!
