Hi,
Thanks for creating the great LWP and Crypt::SSLeay
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Edland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/> modules. I use it
very often.
I am using LWP + https in a multithread perl script. I found that
sometime it crashs.
Do you have a stack trace?
Is Crypt::SSLeay <http://search.cpan.org/%7Edland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/>
thread safe ? If not, it is possible to make it thread safe ?
I honestly don't know if it is, but I imagine that if it wasn't, it
would just require just a bit of thought and a bit more code. I'm just
the maintainer; I accept patches :)
Does LWP + https use Net::SSLeay
No.
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Eflora/Net_SSLeay.pm/SSLeay.pm> at all ? I am
not sure about the relationship between Crypt::SSLeay
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Edland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/> and Net::SSLeay
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Eflora/Net_SSLeay.pm/SSLeay.pm> .
There is none. Net::SSLeay lets you do secure sockets for whatever
private purpose you desire.
Currently LWP only use Crypt::SSLeay
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Edland/Crypt-SSLeay-0.57/>, right ?
Yes, the distribution Crypt-SSLeay contains the packages Crypt::SSLeay
which is essentially a hollow do-nothing husk, and Net::SSL, which is
what LWP is after when it needs to do https.
Thanks a lot.. Great job !!
Thanks. Feedback like this is balm to the heart.
David
