There is definately something that is preventing LWP from handling https. I don’t know anything about it, so I’ll have to research it. Honestly, I’m not likely to get a chance to do that until next week. If you (or Wes) can tell me what is required for LWP to be able to go after https pages, I’ll make the changes.
I had a handy test program available. I tried it on badger.uvm.edu : it failed there, too. But it did display a more informative error message: Protocol scheme ‘https’ is not supported (Crypt::SSLeay not installed) So, I typed this
sudo cpan get Crypt::SSLeay
Now my test script works great on badger. Frank, less adventurous than I, typed
up2date -i perl-Crypt-SSLeay
which had equally fine results
