NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::LWP - LWP plugin for fetching files

VERSION

version 1.03_01

SYNOPSIS

 use alienfile;
 meta->prop->{start_url} = 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make';
 plugin 'Fetch::LWP' => ();

DESCRIPTION

Note: in most case you will want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. It picks the appropriate fetch plugin based on your platform and environment. In some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead.

This fetch plugin fetches files and directory listings via the http https, ftp, file protocol using LWP. If the URL specified uses the https scheme, then the required SSL modules will automatically be injected as requirements. If your initial URL is not https, but you know that it will be needed on a subsequent request you can use the ssl property below.

PROPERTIES

url

The initial URL to fetch. This may be a directory listing (in HTML) or the final file.

ssl

If set to true, then the SSL modules required to make an https connection will be added as prerequisites.
